Is it normal to want to kill rapists?

Before we go any further, I want to assure all of you that I never, EVER would kill anyone in real life. If it came down to it, I'm sure I would never do it, because I can't stand to see anyone in any sort of pain. It hurts me on an emotional level.

That said, anytime I hear of rapists, their unspeakable crimes shake me to my core, and I get this seething hatred in the pit of my stomach. It's got to the point that whenever anyone not only talks about rapists or rape, but even says the word rape, I get physically, visibly upset, and I start having violent fantasies. Not to go into too much detail, but the fantasies involve knives, baseball bats, surgical instruments, crowbars, drills, car batteries, matches, and other horrible things. I consciously know that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, and only continues the horrible cycle of violence. I'm not even pro-capital punishment! On a subconscious level, though, I have this deep, powerful, hair-trigger hatred that I'm not sure is normal.

I don't have personal experience with rape. I was not abused as a child or in my adult life. I don't know anyone who was violently raped, but I know of (as in, not personally) several people who've been sexually assaulted through my friends. I don't have this with any other crime or type of person, only rape and rapists. I'm normally very easygoing and almost never get angry at anyone or anything, but I just have this one fixation. I am a male, for your information.

    I'm going to say normal. The men and women that commit rape are monsters in human skin. As long as you don't act on it you're fine.

    Rapists are humans spawned from Satan's poisonous mutant turds. Gather them all, throw em in a boat, send the boat to the ocean, and flush the boat by sinking it. Watch them drown and see their dead bodies float to the surface like the shit they are, man.

    Every woman should carry a gun and know how to use it, and I'm talking about at least a .38 and preferably .44, not one of those pistols where you have to shoot from point blank to do any real damage.

      Fuck no, some women should never be trusted with a gun, just as some men shouldn't. If you're a mentally unstable, psychotic lady then a guy handing you the bag you just dropped could be misconstrued as an attempted rape in her mind and *BAM* dead man.

      Also, if every women is armed with a gun to defend themselves against rapists, then wouldn't most rapists intent on raping arm themselves with a gun too? It could make things worse.

        I thought it would be understood that when I'm talking about every woman, I meant every mentally stable woman. Rapists usually do arm themselves, but they cant shoot and try to rape at the same time. Rapists are cowards, they never put themselves in danger, that's why they only attack defenseless women, and most of the time use brute strength, but a gun is a great equalizer in that case. I know a couple of women who gone through that, one is a very peace loving girl who refuse to hold a gun, until this day they didn't find the guy who raped her. Another one is a bit different, 2 guys tried to rape her, after face of one of them was under her fingernails and two of her bullets were in the stomach of the other, they fled, but of course easily found. Now tell me, which of those scenarios turned out better? one in which a girl was raped and the rapist is on the lose, or the other, where the girl wasn't raped, one rapist died, another serving a long time.

          "Rapists are cowards, they never put themselves in danger, that's why they only attack defenseless women, and most of the time use brute strength"

          Uh, no. Most rape is acquaintance rape, which means that it's done by someone the victim knows. Manipulation and an element of surprise can be just as important as force, if not more so, in such cases. Sometimes people are taken by force by strangers, but that's not the reality of most rape cases.

          Also, when you tell women to carry a gun to prevent rape, you're placing responsibility on the victims. Instead of saying "don't rape", you're saying "don't get raped". Stop it.

            I know that most rapes happen by someone a girl knows, that's why this someone wont have any problems being alone with her, where she is not protected, he wouldn't try it if he knew another man or any other dangers might be around, thus your element of surprise because the victim didn't expect anything and she is unprotected in any way. As for responsibility, everyone has responsibility, you can't rely on others to protect you, of course in a perfect world there would be no rapists, but our world is not perfect, and people will try to use force against you, and you must learn to protect yourself. Of course its the police job to protect you, but they will MIGHT arrest the guy AFTER the victim got raped. I'm not saying that if a woman got raped she is the one to blame, but I want women to be strong and defend themselves as much as possible instead of going like cattle to slaughter.

          That line of argument will justify arming everybody with a gun; which scenario is better, the one where an innocent guy walking along the street gets stabbed by a gang member mistaking him for a rival, or where an innocent guy walking along the street having seen his assailant pull out a knife shoots him and kills him before he has a chance? Therefore all young men should carry guns because they are the most likely to be victims of violent assaults, right?

          Don't get me wrong. I think the common physiological superiority in terms of strength and size of men over women means that a man intending to rape a women will probably be able to overpower her, especially if she isn't trained in self-defense.

          But I think arming and training all women to use lethal weapons to defend against attacks that are often non-lethal is ethically questionable. I think training to use weapons such as stun guns, pepper spray, batons etc. - weapons which can incapacitate usually without fatal consequences - makes a lot more sense.

          I think it's everybody's prerogative to learn how to best defend themselves if they feel there is a likelihood they may one day be in a situation where it's necessary to do so. That goes for men as well as women. I think it's an individual's choice. But the way you declare "Every woman should carry a gun and know how to use it" makes it sound like it should be something legislated, like the government should arm its women because around every corner there lurks male rapists! Or families should make sure every daughter, before their 21st birthday, knows how to use a pistol, and is later bought their very own. It just sounds a little absurd to me, and I think that kind of broad justification for carrying around a lethal weapon could lead to a lot more violence, accidental deaths and murders instead of reducing rates of rape and sexual assault.

            You give me hypothetical situations while I gave you two stories that happened. A misfire happens when a person is not trained to use a weapon yet they have it. Of course before getting a weapon every person should have a psychological test to determine if they are stable. Never pull out your weapon unless being attacked by someone you can't handle in any other way. When someone wants to murder somebody, they can easily get a gun illegally, its the innocent victim who is usually unarmed. There would be much less assaults because the criminals would be afraid that this assault might be their last. You don't have to kill the one that attacks you, a shot in the leg will be sufficient to make them run away, and the police could collect their blood sample, thus making it much easier to identify the person. Stun guns and tasers are not effective when you are attacked by more then one person, you take down one of the attackers, but the others will jump you and disarm you, however if one of them is shot and dying, they wont take a chance. Remember during WW2 USA dropped the a-bomb on japan, two of them actually, but during the cold war, neither the Americans nor the Soviets would dare to attack because both understood the possible consequences, same situation here, when one person doesn't think they have strength superiority over the other person, they hesitate before attacking.

    As long as you can control these urges, I think you're ok. If somebody does tell you about having been raped, though, make sure that you don't make the conversation about your anger.

    Picture this.

    You go out to your local nightclub for the evening.
    An 18yo girl approaches you and says you're cute.
    One thing leads to another, and you eventually take her home for the night.
    The morning comes and you awake with her screaming!
    You say, 'What's up bitch, you've lost it!'
    She looks at you, and says, 'Last night I was drugged, I don't remember anything or how I even got here! AND I was a virgin ONLY wanting to give it away to my husband one day. This is how I am religiously, and what I've ALWAYS told everyone!'

    Oh dear, you are going to be charged for rape. And likely convicted.
    Please shoot yourself now.

      So what, simply because some people will lie about being raped doesn't make the real thing any less terrible.

            I couldn't say which is worse as I have never been raped or wrongfully convicted of rape. With my limited experience I would say that I'd prefer to be raped by a woman than be wrongfully convicted of rape and I'd rather be wrongfully convicted of rape than raped by a man.

        This is a problem, and it's called victim blaming.

        However I don't think a nice little Christian girl would be out drunk at a nightclub in the first place...

        But anyone should be able to go out at night and drink and still be safe. Just because it's something you choose to abstain from doesn't mean that everyone else should, and those that choose to imbibe certainly don't deserve to be raped for real.

          That is kind of the piont I was making a good girl would not be getting naked and drunk I also do not think that it is always the raped victems fault as this is not why all women get raped some get raped by exes or dad or guys who frankly dont give a shit what the female wants he just want something to stick it in . I my self have been a victem of this mantality and harrasement and I do not go out getting drunk and partying all night so I do not see how I deserve this attitude . However yes I think it wrong for women to lie about being raped however I do not think anyone should have sex with anyone drunk . ITs simply is not right and I know this is just a movie but in Austin powers man of mystery he gets his female partner drunk and she trys to kiss him , however he refuses to becuase he says " Its not right your smashed ( meaning drunk) . Also alot of women get stuff slipped in there drink were they can not move and some slipped a drug were they can not move but they are aware of whats going on . So no women deserves to be raped .

            Well I think we can definitely agree :P The only person I would have sex with drunk is my partner, we've agreed upon that earlier. I'm pretty drunk tonight so I won't post much now, but I will say... no person, man or woman, deserves to be raped.

            And I don't see how you would even receive such an attitude, you've made it pretty clear that you're not into anything sexual. o.o

        His point remains the same, a legal age girl can get drunk and have consensual sex, and have the guy arrested in the morning when she regrets it. Obviously I have never been in that situation, but it has happened many times!

          People rarely actually get convicted of rape, though. I agree that lying about rape is a really shitty thing to do, but people exaggerate the scale of that problem.

            I agree I guess this is torn as the men seem to be for it as in every case the women was asking it , while the women tend to think that sometimes there is other circumstances I find the fact anyone would say , " Oh well she wanted it " being in everycase is just being sexes and following the " bros before Hoes claim " .

  • interesting , i wonder where this stems from, maybe when you were little you had to protect a female in your family in some way (not against rape) , maybe its a rebellion of male stereotypes in society, i dont know but i wait for comments

    That 'eye for an eye' is based on on a logical fallacy. It might be applicable to tribal feuds, but if you're killing a rapist then you're only getting revenge for his crime.

    There would be no justification to get revenge on you. I share your sentiment but only towards men who are violent rapists and the "date rapists" who pretend that she "wanted it too", when in reality he was forcing her against her will.

    I agree with others though we should make sure we have the truth first. It is extremely easy for a man to be wrongly accused of rape. I know of a girl who had sex with her best friend, then later 'decided' that she was raped-which was pure bullshit. They're both close friends of mine so I know nobody raped anybody. Just that some girls are stupid in the head.

    But where the case is clear-then burn that rapist motherfuker. You should see porn on the net, there's many sites dedicated to this 'fetish'. People like that will change society into something more brutal and barbaric.
