"One can think of excuses for killing a man; none for assaulting a woman." (emphases added). As if killing "a man" was not itself a form of assault(!) This is pure, Platonic sexism.

He might just as well have said, "killing a man is not as bad as killing a woman." Would anyone caught up in today's gender collectivism take issue with that? Would any woman prefer to be murdered than to be forcibly violated and walk away?

Speaking personally, I would far rather be sexually assaulted than murdered. If that's heresy, make the most of it.
