Yes, that is part of your perspective! Thank you for holding and
expressing it.
A rapist's perspective may not be a good perspective, may not be a
healthy perspective, may not be a honorable perspective but it IS
equally a perspective even if it not equal to your perspective. The
importance or nature of any given perspective can only be understood
through empathy. Who knows how much each of us actually does participate
in the perspective of a rapist when you think of rape as a principle?
"to enter uninvited and take by force - actual or implied - if
nescessary, against the will or without the permission of that which is
entered. to ravish"
most of us are not so considerate to have never shared in the
perspective of a rapist.
To be born into this world is a form of rape
