Is there any crime worse than rape?

[Jolie_Desastre]

It all depends on the situation, how brutal the rapist was, and the effect that it had on the raped person.

exactly.

murder and rape are two totally different things.

most women hold their virginity sacred, and if someone takes that away from them without their consent, it scars them for life. some go 6 months straight with nightmares. others develop drinking and drug problems.
there was story i read about how a girl was raped by her father almost everyday since she was 12 years old from the time she went to college, her mother had no idea till it was told to her.


i think date rape is pathetic and would probably hurt much more than being conscious while being raped. you have no idea how the man took advantage of you, you had no chance of trying to escape or fighting back, you just had to lay there, nothing you could do.

it's a horrible crime in itself, and unless you've read up on it or experienced it, most will never know how horrible it really is.

even though not everyone makes a full recovery, there is a chance like most of you have stated that most will. if they have the support that everyone thinks is out there. sometimes it's not,for example, family friends raping children and their parents won't believe them. it's just sad.

i personally could not imagine living out the rest of my life if i had this act done to me, but you never know. it's different with us girls.

In my eyes, rape is the worst thing that can happen to somebody. And it's even worse when the victim is a child. What do I think rape is worse than death? Simple:because it kills your soul. I don't think any victim ever recovers from this. Many of them are doomed for life.

 

[Majik1387]

Rape kills your soul?
Okay, this I gotta hear.

This shouldn't even be a question. Murder is far worse. Rape only seems to have long term effects in humans but should be able to get over it and move on especially if the rapist was caught. In the animal kingdom females accept getting raped and go back to their normal day like it didn't even happen. Murder=finality Rape=still alive.

Choice is clear.

until i dont know what happens to a person when he dies i wont say that its better to live after you get raped.

what if there is heaven? then i say f... it. its better to be killed and be in a paradise then to get rapped and live with this the whole life.

of course now comes to question. how do i get killed. do i suffer like more days before i die?

i am confused.

 

[The Guard]

Murder affects more people, and on a broader scale. Does that make it worse?

Overly dramatic much?
PLENTY of people, strong people, both men and women recover from rape.
Those that don't and are "doomed for life" were just waiting around for something to doom them. If it wasn't rape it would be the failed romance of their "one true love" or some other histrionic nonsense...

I'm going to agree with that, mostly. If the rapist is not caught that would probably cause added psychological grief.

 

[AndThePickles]

No, this is real rape, not Spoons rape

Oh. Spoons rape :heart:

Sometimes...
As others have noted; It depends on the individual and the circumstances...

 

[Jerry!]

Yeah but the thing about murder is that it doesn't matter on the individual.....because THEY ARE DEAD. This thread is ridiculous.

it all depends. it doesn't make u a weak person if rape affects you in the long run. i mean geez u were forced to do something sick and demeaning, of course it's gonna affect u for a long time.

 

[xXx]

Murder.

 

[xisaacx]

it all depends for example

you go into a CLUb for people 18 AND OLDER, a 16 year old gets in with a FAKE ID. you have sex with her, she get preggers, tells her parents...you go to jail for rape etc...my girls brother is going through this...I mean it happens

Again... it depends on the person. Some people view it like stepping in poop. Unpleasant but transitory. Others (partially due to societal cues) carry it like Atlas carried the world, experiancing all the feelings they THINK they should (esp. guilt) when really, that's just debilitating self-bashing. Geez... I sound like a dumb@ss therapist... t:

haha hey atleast u are giving your opinion man, it's all good. t:

it's just, a girl can be the strongest person you know, be athletic and take self defense classes, then she would get attacked totally off guard, she is going to feel confused and guilty. for that reason and others.


a girl at my friend's work was raped, but she doesn't talk about it, and she still goes out and dates and has fun with her friends, but i feel that every man (excluding my friend) has taken advantage of her ever since, like she will **** them and they lose interest or drop her all of a sudden after a few weeks, and she won't know why and will dwell on it. it's really sad, like on the outside it won't show, and she probably will never know it, but she is still letting it affect her without realizing it. that's the power of rape. scary isn't it?

 

[Borax]

Pretty much sums it up

[VICTORVONDOOMX]

It's very scary...
and I said that 'cause I am a therapist. Sounds like that's what your friend needs. A little outside, professional, perspective is a really good thing in instances like that.

Wow, I personally don't know anyone who's been outright raped...but I would figure that a person who's been raped would be the opposite of your friend's workmate. She would be recluse when it came to men wanting to be with her...but apparently she's dealing with it in an equally sad, yet opposite way.

genocide?

if she'd talk about it, maybe, but she sees nothing wrong with her situation right now, it's a scary thing when people think they are ok and they aren't.

that's what i'm trying to put out there, you can never just go from having it done to the road to recovery.

 

[VICTORVONDOOMX]

I've worked with a lot of victims of a LOT of different things (you'd be amazed-- there's a reason for my cynicism!) and some people absolutely can go straight to recovery... while some absolutely can't. The problem is... none of us are labeled.
"Can take it."
"Can't take it."
That would be helpful...

it's good that we are getting an opinion from someone who has actually worked with people that have been through this trauma. even if the opinion is different from ours a tleast we know where you are coming from.
