I think the thing is, murder, theft, and violence at least have the potential to be framed in a way that even not-horrible people can understand why the attacker did it. Not justified, but explained and understood, whereas rape...not so much. In this SPECIFIC case, him pushing Bran out of the window wasn't vindictive or personal--it was a "pragmatic" choice (of a horrible person). But there's never a way to frame rape as "pragmatic."

Well, why do you say that? If Criminal A rapes someone to intimidate them, scare them, for a reason involving control, that's not difficult to understand. If Criminal A rapes someone, in a medieval society, to say, impregnate them and therefore shame them as a slut out of wedlock, that could be pragmatic, too. Hell, maybe Jaimie rapes Bran to traumatize him - it'd probably be pragmatic, too.

Isn't there a stat suggesting that rape isn't usually about simple, uncontrolled lust, but generally about control? Control can very well be pragmatic.

DA

"Pragmatic" in the sense, I think, that most average people can imagine situations in which they could be driven to steal or kill out of pure necessity. But rape, like most forms of physical and/or psychological torture, is much more likely to be too extreme a path for a regular person to rationalize, since it's almost never a matter of life or death the way stealing money/food to eat or killing someone who's trying to kill you can be.

It's about desire. I can imagine myself in a situation where I would desire something so much I'd do anything to obtain it, and I have a vagina.
