Can we agree there is no religious authority for committing violent sexual assault?
WexfordHo t1_ixajdhg wrote
Or indeed any other authority, some things are inexcusable.

I once had a discussing in an intro to philosophy course about the hierarchy of bad shit. There was a consensus that murder was the worst thing a person could commit, but i was willing to die on the hill that says rape is worst.

Both murder and rape, take a life away. But I agree that rape is worse as the person is living every day with that trama. It doesn't end.

I don’t know about better or worse, but there are recognized and accepted reasons to end a human life; I cannot think of a single good reason for sexual violence under any circumstances.

This is exactly why i believe it's worse. There aren't any situations that would make raping someone the favorable outcome for all.

I think certain torture methods are worse (I have read about some and had nightmares). However, I don't feel like it's appropriate to discuss what's worse in front of victims. It's not supposed to be a competition.

I would say it depends on the brutality of the rape.
If rape is worse than murder than why does society not recognise male rape victims?
GWS2004 t1_ixcrjig wrote
They absolutely do recognize them. Please don't start with that divisive bullshit.

Men have done that to themselves and many still continue to do it. It should be recognized but it (often) isn’t and a large part of that is men minimizing the feelings of other men. You can’t have a conservative manly man culture that emphasizes strength without losing the ability to be vulnerable with each other.
Edit to say I’m referring to US culture specifically.

i don't buy that. It's illegal to assault or kill man. Why not rape?
Making laws is different than dealing with feelings. If women's rape is death worthy, men's rape should atleast be jail worthy.

I’m not going to assume what country you’re from or the laws there, I realize that I assumed you’re American for some reason, my bad.
The US generally doesn’t use the death penalty for rapists unless they also murdered the victim. Even then it’s not very common. The US has been slowly working to remove gendered language from our laws regarding sexual assault as well but it’s a long process that’s only partially completed. Conservative pushback about “being a man” is a large part of that problem, which was what I was referring to in my first comment.

I think we can all agree there shouldn't be.

I agree, I just listened to a podcast where the host has a woman on that said in Iran they have a religious shit bag say that it is halal to rape this woman for the next hour while she is in custody.
