Honest Question: Is Murder objectively a greater loss than Rape, regardless of the victim's gender?
Look, both are absolutely horrible. Rape hurts a person mentally and emotionally, I get that it's traumatic and can mess someone up. No denying that.
But let's be real for a second. If you're murdered, your life is over. You don't get to heal, you don't get to enjoy anything ever again, you lose every future moment with family, friends, food, music, favorite movie, traveling whatever you love. A rape survivor still has their life. They can still laugh, work, fall in love, chase their dreams, and slowly rebuild even if it's hard. The murdered person gets nothing. Zero.
I feel like we pretend these two are on the same level sometimes, and it just doesn't sit right with me. The complete and permanent erasure of a human life feels like the much bigger evil.
