Richard Dawkins: Rape at knife point is worse than date rape

The guys says this here;

http://www.dailylife.com.au/news-and-vie...3cswk.html

he argues about the scale of trauma and it results in an ensuring twitter war populated with feminists.

On Tuesday, the God Delusion author tweeted to his 987,000 followers that “mild date rape” is not as bad as being raped by a stranger at knifepoint, and that anyone who thinks the comparison is an endorsement of date rape should “go away and learn how to think”.

Counterpoints end up being irrelevant segues, histrionics and appeals to victimhood..

Shami Chakrabarti, a spokesperson from The End Violence Against Women Coalition, told The Telegraph that his words were “not merely ignorant but extremely offensive”. “I know there are men of a certain generation who just clunk around on this subject but it’s really not good enough. It sends a very bad signal."

Chakrabarti added: "Language is important. Even great minds need editing. There are very clever people who are experts in their own subject and write books, but when they write books they are edited. Some very clever people who ought to know better occasionally let themselves down online and on Twitter in particular."

As Jody Woodward, a spokesman for East London Rape Crisis points out, “Rape itself is a violent act regardless of whether any physical force is used. For survivors there is no hierarchy as to what constitutes ‘better’ or ‘worse’ rape. Rape is rape; there is no such thing as mild rape.”

He tried to defend his position with reason.

I think we know how successful that would have been
