Some people, as soon as they hear or read the word rape, all reason leaves their head.
That is because rape defies all reason. It is completely unjustifiable. Always. Regardless of circumstance.

So that means we have to abandon all rational thought when talk about it and just start yelling at each other, letting our emotions make our decisions for us? Because that usually results in bad decisions being made. Just because the action is reprehensible and unjustifiable doesn't mean we can't discuss the topic like rational adults.

Does anyone else think that a lot of the people who hate Richard Dawkins, simply because they are theists, some of whom have never read any of his work, are now jumping on this bandwagon?

Well that's what I'm trying to get at. I said on the page 2 that there are different types of murder or assault with different levels of severity. That doesn't mean that those crimes are reprehensible no matter the severity, just that some types of them are worse than others. Why should rape be any different?
