Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?

  I think more people don’t recover from death compared to rape

    I’m not arguing that lol. But many people would literally rather be killed than raped and it’s frequently cited as one of the things, “worse than death”.

    It should absolutely be punished similarly.

      That sounds like a great way to make all rapists murderers.

        That sounds like a blatant threat and attempt at emotional blackmail

        No. There’s a psychological barrier to killing, even in the mind of a criminal. That’s why most murders are actually proper who knew each other and had enough emotion to overcome that barrier or people who were scared/abused enough that the barrier was no longer there. (It goes away as a defense mechanism)

      1. Many is not anywhere near all.

      2. That is an option for the victim in a rape still, there is no option for the victim in a murder.

  But it is possible to recover, and many do. There is no recovery from being murdered.

  Murder also has further externalities. When you kill someone, you take them away from their friends and families, who now have to live forever without that person in their lives.

  But this whole conversation feels a lot like we’re asking “who was worse, Hitler or Genghis Khan?”, and it’s weird to put either side on the defensive even if there is an objectively true answer to be found.

  Yes, but statistically speaking the amount of people who recover from murder (being around 0 to 1, depending on if the Resurrection of Christ is a factual event or mere myth) is a tad lower than people who recover from rape induced trauma…
