When Can Rape Be Justified?

You don't understand, I don't want just me to be tax-exempt, I want everybody to be tax-exempt. I don't believe in theft-funded, monopolized societal infrastructure. I want government, along with all initiation of force, to be abolished.

I'm sure Jonathan Swift heard much the same thing (before trigger words were a thing) when he wrote about eating Irish babies, something I think is objectively worse. However, he used it to illustrate an important point much like this author did.

When you say I have misunderstood, do you mean you didn't actually make inappropriate use of rape as a basis for comparison with taxation of all things? Because that is the only relevant issue here.

My belief is that if you were a woman and you had been raped, you would have chosen to use a different metaphor.

Rape is the theft of an incalculably valued material, but only diests believe that. Murder is the theft of one's life, and for some is the preferable outcome.
