Jesus christ, you're really not getting it. I neither said or implied any of those things.

Violent assailant holding you down = rape

Stealthing = rape

Rape can cover everything down to refusing consent to a particular sexual position or activity, despite consenting to everything but. We're not disagreeing here.

Where you seem to be getting hung up is the idea that the slightest consensual breach somehow justifies homicide, even after the fact.

There exists a concept known as proportionality. A proportional response to being forcibly held against your will is all the violence you can muster. A proportional response to disagreeing with a particular act is pushing away and (assuming they relent afterwards) and leaving. Are you getting this now?

And you are ignoring that murdering rapists (or anyone who tries to seriously harm you) is a natural human right people are born with, and that right transcends the law of any country. It is part of your heritage as a living being on this earth and you need to learn to respect it.

There is no such as a natural human right, and since "murder" is purely a legal concept, your statement is nonsensical.

We are thin skinned apes with less hair who evolved to develop language, technology, and civilization. Rights are privileges established by civilization. The same civilization that decided that, maybe, it's better to also establish a set of rules so that people can't just go around raping and killing each other willy nilly.

You sound like you'd rather live in an anarchist hellscape. Good luck with that.
