Sorry, Richard Dawkins, but you did not actually hurt my feelings

35. Again, I disagree.

On two counts. First that a discussion of that nature must exclude any human that has direct personal experience with the subject. Second, that you have actually failed the test of the original statement itself. As we discussed, the criminal justice system, with penalties established by the legislature, formed of the people itself, has specified that one of the examples is worse than the other.

I think one can fairly assume that the legislature, when establishing the penalties for the two crimes, did not exclude women members of the body, or specifically women members who had been victimized, from the discussion/vote.

So yeah, no, we continue to disagree. I have never been raped, but I have been victim of other forms of crimes, and I am capable of discussing the merits/severity of the crime in comparison to other crimes.
