Must we really make violent crimes into a competition?.. There isn't some sort of objective standard as to which of two horribly vile things is worse.

[cloudtrader]

Objective standard, no, but there is absolutely a cultural ranking of vile things. "Death before dishonor!" versus the U.S. justice system ranking murder but not rape as actionable for bringing in the option of the death penalty.

[dreemyweird]

The law is the law. It is reflective of cultural values, but I don't think the reason behind this particular legislation is a bunch of people literally sitting down and going "murder is objectively more morally reprehensible than rape".

Rape can be remedied to some extent. The victim is still alive and they have often not sustained any grievous physical injuries. Murder can't be fixed in any way, shape, or form. This is just pragmatical reasoning, not a profound moral judgement.

"Death before dishonor" is a deeply personal choice and I think it should remain personal and not subject to judgement. Saying that people who consider rape worse than murder are "stupid" is ridiculous. There's no moral hierarchy here.
