But Rape or, in some cases perhaps, merely Seduction...

Sorry, Ladies, I know how terribly important it is not to do anything to you that you aren't in total conscious agreement with--and how doing anything to you that you don't whole-heartedly concur with is, by definition, violence.  And if it's your sacred Thingy, or poopy-hole, or your almost-as-sacred buttocks or bazooms which are violated, of course, you have every right to feel outraged, humiliated and defiled.  And I hope you do.  But there are worse things:  Violence in the perpetration of which physical pain and injury are inflicted, and even death--mayhem and murder--for example, and these really are very much worse. Notice that I do not count psychological pain as nothing, only as considerably less than physical pain; and that I do, contrarily, count the infliction of physical pain and injury as so enormous a crime that I would in some cases, such as physical child abuse, maintain that it can only be atoned for, or condignly punished with, amputation of the offender's hand(s), or his (or her, or their) hanging or decapitation.

I should think, however, that a fine and a reprimand--and not any period of incarceration--would be adequate punishment for the crime of rape (were it never so outrageous, humiliating or defiling), provided that no physical pain or injury had been inflicted.

Kindly refer to my previous blogs, which touch on this subject, of the 7th of this month, and of 4/6/2015 (2:26 a.m.), and 7/15/2014.
