:Well, how about rape? Do you know of any culture that thinks this is a moral act?
Yanomamo. oh.... and the ancient Isrealites as long as 1) the victim wasn't an isrealite, 2) you married the victim in the aftermath, 3)certain special circumstances apply-- such as in the case of Lot and the angels.
quote:Rape is wrong no matter what. Why? Because it hurts someone else?
You need to read your Bible.
Another example:
"Marital rape" wasn't even thought of as a concept until recently. It wasn't considered rape when a husband forced his wife.
Rape was also considered a woman/girl's fault if she wore certain clothes or wore makeup.
Basically, rape was considered the fault of the woman up until about 50 years ago or so. Lots of people still basically believe this, most of whom are high school and college-age men.
