Men have been raping women and kids forever. You make it sound like a historical oddity. You should read about the Middle East. Do you even have a passport? Or are you one of these dumb Americans or Europeans who thinks that the customs and laws of his country are the global norm that everyone else strives for?
I didn't say it's a historical oddity, I asked whether you think it's wrong to do so. I guess I have the answer. If you think there's nothing morally wrong for women and children to be raped, then of course it makes sense for you to also have no compassion for non-human animals.
I don't find my self-interest enhanced by living in anarchy and so I advocate laws which deter it. Those laws govern men's wildest passions and channel them into more constructive pursuits, but there is no moral law, and nothing about recent progress in the West which can't be quickly reversed.
That's it? you only ever advocate things out of self interest? Charity and compassion for anyone other than your immediate family and friends have no place in your life? Then tell me, if you were ever in a time of need - say you went hunting and you fell and broke your leg, or a million other things, why should a stranger bother to help you? Why should anyone help anyone else unless if it carries immediate benefits to himself and his immediate family and friends?
If you believe that the entire world is one transactional interaction after another, you must live a pretty sad existence.
Because no one in modern society has. Why should you be the one exception?
And now you presume to speak for all of modern society? You know for a fact that nobody in the world is fighting against the North Korean regime, is that what you're saying?
