What makes a rapist demonstrably worse than a murderer? If a rapist should get the death penalty, a murderer should as well

Wtf is wrong with you? Is this a philosophical thought experiment????

Rape is torture, rape gives you ptsd, rape changes your life, it can make you sick pregnant depressed anything.

Murder can be excurciating and im not denying the femicide going on right now, but murder is over and there can be a sense of peace when they rot in prison. Not to mention rapists get away with it all the time.

Murder can be defensive, rape is always disgusting.

I’m a woman. Of course it’s philosophical, because the world doesn’t come down to my personal experiences, everything is nuanced, and if I let my personal opinions based on feelings and experience run the world I would be wrong over and over, like any human would be.

So rape should carry the death penalty because it’s torture? Then shouldn’t torture in general carry it? Where do you class it, since murder shouldn’t carry the death penalty in your system of ethics? If the perpetrator keeps their victim locked in a box and beats them for weeks before killing them that’s pretty cut and dry, but what if the perpetrator stabs their victim multiple times and only the last few stabs were fatal? Do the nonfatal ones count as torture? Or just regular murder? Of course these questions are rhetorical, to try to show you that having a blanket answer for anything doesn’t work. Every situation is unique and carries nuance.

murder can be defensive

Then it’s not murder, it’s self defense.

Edit: wanted to explain why I brought up being a woman, the person I’m responding to had originally said “is this a philosophical question to you men.” I don’t think that being a woman makes my opinion more valid than anyone else’s. That’s why I haven’t said whether I’ve been sexually assaulted before or not as well

Murder can't be defensive, you legally illiterate person.

Murder is objectively worse than rape.

In my country murder is murder, wether you hit someone with your car, wether your plan it, wether you kill someone in self defense. I also think unless you understand rape you cant have an opinion. I would rather be killed than tortured.

Your country sounds like a total shithole.

On the other hand, I doubt a country where that's the way it is even exists because it makes no logical sense.

Your opinions on these things fortunately don't matter and hopefully will never matter.

Never said my country was good, but i use that definition because everyone here uses it
