Oh whoa. She agrees over the internet to have sex with this dude and his friend for money. But then several men arrive, gang bang her unprotected at gun point, don’t pay her, and the judge says, “ it’s an occupational hazard.” She was not raped, but her property ( services )was stolen. Interesting.

I found this post quite interesting. Does no one wish to talk about it? At the very least, using this judge's logic, these fellows should also be charged with attempted murder, because they had sex with her ( forcibly ) without protection. Even if they all tested negative for HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis, etc., they inflicted unnecessary suffering on her by making her wonder if she were inflicted with one of these diseases or if she were pregnant. So in addition to armed robbery, certainly, some additional crime was committed against this woman, regardless of if she were a whore. If a thief broke into my property, held me at gun point, robbed me, then released a gas bomb, that caused my body incalculable damage, then the release of that gas bomb should certainly be a further serious crime committed against me, over and above armed robbery. Or perhaps the judge is correct in the criminal aspect of the case, and the woman should sue the culprits civilly for further damage.

This is stupid. How come she doesn't get to say no to the other guys after she's said yes to the first one?

It's probably just the judge's moral standard against prostitution.

Then again, I want to add that rape is way overrated. I mean, most people would much rather get shot (provided they survive) than getting raped, this is a ridiculous social pressure that we need to get rid off. So you got raped. Besides the chance that you got a STD, it's no big deal. It's stupid that we force people to believe getting raped is worse than having someone beat you to unconsciousness.

There has never been much sympathy in the legal system for raped prostitutes.

Why do you say that we force people to think that? Who says the trauma isn't a genetically ingrained reaction in women?

oh please what? you don't believe in evolution, or you fail to see how that could be developed through natural selection?

Here are my thoughts. In order to birth fit offspring, a woman has to be very selective with who they have sex with. This means that they have to be extremely protective of themselves. Having a terrible and seemingly disproportionately large emotional reaction to being raped seems a likely byproduct of that.

It's not just women. I'd much rather be beaten up than raped. Why that is is an interesting question that's hard to articulate answers to.

There exists cultures (tribal ones mostly) where rape isn't a 'big deal' when done by opposing tribes in times of war in terms of emotional trauma.

But anyway it is a moot point, cultural or genetic - the inflicted trauma is real. Imagine if you are a man and get raped - for most men that would have an extremely negative impact on their life.
