Your approach to rapists misses the mark. Imagine one normal woman/man that tries to be nice to everyone. One night they are put into the wrong position at the wrong time and desire takes hold. Do they really deserve death?
I will never advocate rape but I will also never advocate the killing of many human beings on it's grounds. Frankly I think you and most commenters on this post are quite tyrranical in their viewpoints on this issue.
You are very ignorant: rape has little to do with desire and everything to do with control and power over another human. "Desire takes hold"? This is the old myth that men have such strong sexual urges they just can't control themselves, to which I say BULLSHIT, it's a choice to rape or to sexually abuse someone vulnerable. The tiny tiny minority of rapes and sexual abuse committed by women aren't put down to them being unable to control their sexual urges.
So tell me, can you imagine yourself being overcome by desire to the point of rape? If so, you are a potential rapist and part of the problem. This outdated rubbish contributes to making rape acceptable as "normal" and I don't care how "nice" anyone is the rest of the time, rape and sexual abuse of children is not forgiveable and there's no excuse for it.
I'm opposed to the death penalty on principle, too many mistakes have been made in the past, so don't paint me with that brush: Australia hasn't had it since the middle of last century and if there are ever moves to reintroduce it I'll oppose them. However, as a survivor of rape I can well understand the urge to kill or castrate the rapist, who in my case is still hassling me in spite of a court order and the police do nothing.
Tyrannical is a ridiculous term to use in this context: how could I be tyrannical in merely expressing an opinion which I have no power to enforce? THE TYRANNY AND TERRORISM in this context is being carried out by a small minority of men who are excused by people like you. '
Is it normal this is how I feel about rapists?
