The wording kind of implies that it’s only recently that people started seeing rape as a bad thing
I mean, it’s true. In most countries of the world, marital rape was both tolerated and legal 100 years ago.
It’s always been terrible, and the offenders have always been terrible.
The comment above doesn’t imply otherwise though. You may argue that most people in the past had shit ethical opinions without agreeing with those opinions.
People might have not collectively cared, specifically and especially the people who likely didn’t see half of the population as human.
The victims have always cared, was my initial main point. To claim otherwise would be to also deny the sentience of those people.
Idk if you can see it on your instance/browser, but I didn’t vote on the comment.
Added: I agree that people in general have had some level of shitty ethics though, in one way or another. Especially historically. I didn’t see it was you asking either, sorry about that lol.

I don’t know, I asked because I don’t see any good reason worth downvoting. Thanks for replying tho.
Did you see the edit? It might have taken a bit to update the change. I noticed and added a bit at the end after removing that part lol
Thank you for replying to
