Firstly, calm your tits. It was a rhetorical question, not a middle finger to rape victims.
I must ask, though: What exactly do you think is wrong with rape?
If people didn't have sex, reproduction would end and the human race would go extinct. For society to continue, everyone must have sex. Contributing to our collective society is the obligation of every individual, therefore, men and women owe sex to each other and should be forced into it when they refuse to -- right?
No? Well, why not?
If a woman or man is receiving the benefits of society's sex by having been conceived, born, and now being alive, then he or she must give a fair share of sex to society, as per society's demand. People should be forced to pay tribute to the world around them, right?
You don't agree with that?
Well, it's absurd for you to think that individuals should not be held accountable for the best interests of everybody else. It goes without saying that it is necessary and moral for the majority to force its will onto the individual. It is selfish and criminal for anyone to refuse to contribute their fair share of sex to the world. Of course.
Not convinced yet?
You cannot possibly think that it is wrong for society as a whole to be the arbiter of the personal rights of the individual? You can't possibly believe that it can be immoral for the collective whole to take a contribution from each of its members, right?
Still no? What is wrong with you?
We cannot have a functioning society without society as a whole having coercive authority over an individual's penis or vagina. Sex is the price we pay to live in a continuous society. In fact, there should be a group of people whose job is ensuring that everyone is held accountable to their sexual obligations, by forcibly having sex with them. Makes sense.
Cleary nobody is responsible enough to choose their own sexual partners, so they should have partners selected for them, by society, and be forced to have sex with them. Hell, if it is society as a whole forcing everyone into sex, then it's not rape. It's compulsory reproductive tribute.
STILL shaking your head?
I mean, what's the alternative to compulsory reproductive tribute?
Nothing good could possibly happen without the use of force. What, do you honestly think anyone deserves the autonomy to choose their own partners? Do you think that we as a society are capable of evolving when people choose their own mates based on natural attraction, fueled by evolutionarily selected trait-seeking instincts designed to optimize our survival and reproductive capability? There is no possible way to get people to have sex without society as a whole delegating certain people to force each individual man and woman to have sex with each other.
Compulsory reproductive tribute - forcing people to have sex - is not really rape. That's absurd. It is sexual taxation.*
*Writer's Note: A lot of people have read this article and completely missed the point.
To be clear, this article has nothing at all to do with rape. Of course, rape is abhorrent and entirely unacceptable. It is a violation of consent, and all violations of consent are inherently unacceptable, including taxes.
This article is merely a satirical look into the absurd reasoning used to justify the majority forcefully imposing its will onto the individual, such as through taxation and central law. I was trying to illustrate how government supporters sound to anarchists when they presume that the only possible way to get the things we need and want, is through the use of coercive force; robbing the individual.
In its etymology, the word “rape" originally meant: “To seize, abduct, or take by force” (14c). When you are taxed, the state seizes control over your money, and takes your earnings by force.
Rape is to love-making as tax-funded service is to free-market service. The difference is consent. Taxation is theft.
