why do you think people feel the need to compare rape to anything else (particularly things which perpetuate the idea of a woman or woman's body as property)?
is it so hard to understand that rape is wrong without trite and reductionist analogies?
things rape is not like:
stealing jewellery
taking milk (or something similar i heard on a trailer for R4's PM today)
breaking into someone's house
running a red light
