Rape

I think you entirely skipped my original post. My argument isn't whether or not rape is bad, it's whether or not it's on par with murder. Reread, and come again. Really, in my opinion its the rest of society that is stupid. Provide me with some biological evidence that it is on par with murder.

I'm sorry, I must've skipped over the part where you compared it with the assault aspect, in that case, no it's not the same. The only person that has put it on par is you, the punishments are even different, there are tons of different circumstances when it comes to rape and the punishment following, but with murder there's only 4 degrees I believe... so yeah. Rape is on par with murder.

Basically...

+ The punishments are different..
+ Scarring somebody for life is just as bad as killing them
