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.

[/ QUOTE ]It's not just a question of sexual mores as some misguided liberals would have it, or even a question of property [of services] as a certain kind of deranged capitalist would have it.

We are our body, in more ways than the physical one. Any kind of violation of our body to which we do not consent constitutes a trauma, literally. Social considerations are constructed on top of this, sometimes irrelevant to this. (I.e. some societies' norms dictate that your body doesn't really belong to you.)

BTW, that judgee's ruling was crap.

A professional boxer consents to a fight. Goes through the fight. Right after the fight is over, the boxer is attacked on the ring by an enraged fan of his opponent, who starts punching him, i.e. boxing with him. The enraged fan manages to land a few serious punches on the boxer. Is he not supposed to be charged with assault?
