You can argue that, once released, the answer should be yes as they are released and no longer considered active criminals.

Though they are no longer active criminals, they are still proven capable of committing horrendous crimes. Would you feel safe around a convicted rapists? Would you feel safe leaving a child alone with a convicted rapist?

Everyone is capable of committing rape.

Imagine if someone raped you, and you became pregnant. Imagine if the rapist got visiting rights to the child, your child, and you had to drive your child to the house of a man you feared above anything else. Imagine having to leave or precious child in the hands of a man who raped you, of a man who is completely untrustworthy. In 41 states, this torture is possible.

If a man was able to rape a woman, there is no evidence that he will not rape a child. Putting children in that situation is endangering their health for the satisfaction of an accused rapist. People underplay rape. It has nothing to do with sex at all. It is violence. If I hit you with a spade it wouldn't be called gardening. Someone who is capable of this type of violence should never be trusted with the children of the woman he raped. Say he got sent to prison and wanted revenge. He might do something to the children to get revenge on the woman who rightfully put him in prison. We don't know what rapists are capable of, and therefore should not trust them with children conceived by the victim during rape.

Is it any kind of physical assault that you believe renders someone morally irredeemable or just sexual assault?

Side: Yes, rapists should
zcruzer(16) Clarified

I don't believe either makes a person irredeemable! I do, however, believe that a person who has committed a crime of this type should have certain restrictions to keep others safe, especially when concerning children who have little to no means of defense depending on their age.

No. Rapists shouldn't see the light of day period. Maybe that's too harsh, I suppose it depends on the circumstances but to force the unwilling woman to have any kind of contact with a man who forced himself on her is cruel. There would be no trust that he would care for the child since he obviously didn't care for another human being when the child was conceived.

*note, in this I was saying the man was the rapist, I would say the same if the woman raped the man and tried forcing him to pay child support if she became pregnant during that action.

Are you aware of the stats of women who rape men?

Women exaggerate everything.

Men get raped almost as much as women but are shy to report and also quickly get over. At most 2weeks trauma, then back to normal life like it never happened.

Should those women not see the light of day period?.

A hip pop artiste was raped by a woman at age 11. Today he is fine, there is no sign of effect on his life. He is not afraid of women, or sex. It rather usually his favourite topics in his songs and complimenting females.

You're just too absurdly hysterical.

Women would be glad to rape people they are attracted and make it look okay but the same woman will call it a crime if she is raped.

Courts always support you's .

You think that is gender equality?

There are no accurate stats at this moment since many men don't report it for fear of repercussion. Unfair? Abso-freaking-lutely.

Women exaggerate everything.

Are you serious? That sounds like an over-exaggeration.

Men get raped almost as much as women but are shy to report and also quickly get over. At most 2weeks trauma, then back to normal life like it never happened.

It's not a matter of being shy, it's a matter of being ridiculed. The social belief that a man can't be raped is a stigma in it's finest sense and holds back justice for the victim. As to your statement that men get raped almost as much as women? Seriously? Do you think there are gangs of women who go around raping men? There are countries where an un-escorted woman is in danger of being raped. There have been devices created in areas like Africa that a woman inserted into her vagina that has barbs inside so if she's raped it will destroy the man's penis. So if you want to say that men get raped almost as much, I'm going to need to see that evidence. Reported or not, if you're making a statement like that I need that backed up.

Yeah, lil Wayne may joke about it now but rape is not a joking matter. He does a disservice to men who have had such a traumatic experience and are having a difficult time getting over it.

Women would be glad to rape people they are attracted and make it look okay but the same woman will call it a crime if she is raped.

You are out of your mind, or as you put it...you're just too absurd. I can't say you are absurdly hysterical as you aren't, you are simply absurd.

You obviously didn't read my previous comment and the note I had beneath it. Try again.

I am appalled that such a thing could even have been thought up. Rapists deserve to be locked away for the rest of their lives. The woman would already be traumatized enough by the rape. Seeing the one who raped her would make things so much worse for her. A rapist shouldn't even be allowed around children!! Women who have been raped have already been kind enough to the rapist by not aborting the child.

Rapists should be thrown down a hole, never to be seen or heard from again.

The only exception I can think of, which would be extremely rare, is if it was a case of "statutory rape" in which it was just a matter of age (like a 16 year old getting a 15 year old pregnant through hypothetically consensual sex even though 16 is the legal year of consent).

What about someone who just physically attacks someone for merely verbally insulting them. They break bones which require hospitalization. Do you think this type of assault merits the same severity of punishment that rape does? if not why not?

They do indeed already have laws for that and with punishments varied based on charge and circumstance. I'm all for justice. What's fair is fair.

Rapists should be executed, and everything they owned should be given to their victim.

I do believe rapists should be severely punished, but being executed is much to drastic. Murdering someone for ruining someone's life makes us no better than them.

Putting a rapist to death is justice, not murder. Putting a murderer to death is justice, not murder.

Your dying is justice, not murder. You are dying because you deserve to die, not because you are being murdered.
