I'll refer you to my previous statements and posts. I grow weary of those who hear, but do not listen. |
1- Instead, I'd say that I beleive what I see, not what you're trying to empose me. Under the topic of laws, there's the idea of "morals", and this changes from one society to another, why ? Because every society has its way of understanding certain aspects. So, what are those acts that are regarded under morals ? In a country where muslim people exist, one cannot go and place a plastic bag full of unpleasant things in front of the door of the mosque . does this plastic bag have any contact with the outside, other than being exist there ? no ! but putting unpleasant things in areas can be conceived as a swear, and regarded according to morals.
Putting nude pictures in an islamic website is high non-etical, even carrying one person without his permission into somewhere he wouldn't wish to go can be related to moral issues. Because what shapes the moral issues doesn't consist of the way the victim sees the issue, the reactions of environment is also effective. Simple, when we were younger, people would make fun of those who accidentally stepped inside the females bathroom so much that, they'd wish to leave the school...
and rape :
is it an act against one side's will ? so it's regarded as a crime...
is it mental abuse ? I think so, and will tell you why. For me, to be able to say that it's a mental abuse, I must prove the way victim feels/thinks about it is not well.
would you be offended if someone held your hands ? depends on how he held ; if he made it look like a gentleman kissing a matmazel's hand, you could be offended.
would you be offended if someone , touched your feet ? probably no, well it's the organ that's in the public for the whole day, why would you get offended. unless the guy is a foot fetishist, and making weird figures...
would you be offended if someone , touched you back ? again, probably no... when in the queue, in the lines, people always put their hands into others' backs, like telling them to move...
touching to knee ? well it shows friendship, as long as the two sides are from the same sex. an image with opposite sexes might seem like more than a friendship.
final question... would you be offended, if someone touched your "private area". uhuh! it's named "private area", there fore it needs to stay private, not taken into the public, touched by strangers... unllike you're guy like "Hell yeah! I have a dick! therefore I'm a man! feel me world!"...
this is one level higher, from touching like one's chest. regardless of the breasts, heart is usually seen as the symbol of love, and when touched by others, give certain ideas to others. and people wouldn't be pleased by that.
which comes to my point, regardless of the volume of pain, an act that is seen unpleasant by the victim, is regarded under morals. You wanna tell me it's not ? go for it, "beleive what you wish"...

I grow weary of those who thinks that oppposement comes from ignorance. *sigh*
