The only reason rape is taken seriously these days, is government fear of overpopulation

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/book-incited-worldwide-fear-overpopulation-180967499/ Much is made these days of the "trauma" of female rape, in contrast to the past, in which rape was generally taken as being something of a joke. While, of course, the government and the powers that be are presenting this as a great sign of social progress, the actual reason for it is very simple. Governments are, probably rightfully, terrified of overpopulation. Overpopulation is the greatest danger governments and the planet are currently facing, so, quite naturally, anything that can produce children is a source of horror for governments. All heterosexual sex and production of children are considered anathema, thus the "worship" of homosexuality. And, of course, children are "protected" now, so that any parent so much as slapping a child is a major felon. While, in the past, when child mortality rates often hovered around 80%, governments really didn't care how women got pregnant, as long as they did, to keep the species going, now, reducing fertility is the number one goal of most governments worldwide. It's not about protecting women or children, it's just about keeping the population down, period. Governments never care about protecting individual rights, they care about control agendas. Period. And, currently the horror of "rape", and, "sex crime" in general, is just a government control strategy to frighten both men and women away from having sex, and producing more of those nasty little babies we currently have far, far too many of, in the world.
