I don't think it matters whether rape is evil to a rapist, I think the overwhelming power of the evil it perpetrates on the victim negates what it is to the rapist.

That's my point. Can it really be an absolute if others don't see it as evil?

Then what gives us the motivation to stop something? We (FYMers) can all say slavery is wrong, Nazism is wrong, etc., but that it looks different to those perpetrating those evils. Then why should we make efforts to stop them?

seriously. it's less about moral superiority and more to do with ability.

He knows he's doing wrong.
The screams and tears of his victim would clear up any misunderstanding he has about the morality of rape.
