Rape?
There are both pragmatic and basic humanistic issues with rape.
The ancient original and pragmatic issue with rape was basically about child care. No man wanted his woman raped because he only wanted to raise his kids and society didnt want single women raped because there was no father to support the potential kids.
Essentially those issues still matter.
If we jump up to a humanistic perspective its an insult on a human to be condemed much like murder or slavery(2 points which humans dont apply to animals.).
