Recovering from rape cannot be as easy as we make it out to be.

Constant jokes, victim shaming, rape culture, many states in the U.S having little or no access to emergency contraception or abortion, some cases where the rapist is known to the victim... Some cases can be fixed with some time in therapy but some cannot.

I definitely agree that murder is worse. You can recover from rape, and even if you never actually fully recover you're still living and have to ability to do things and think. With murder, it takes away everything from you, leaving you with no opportunity of anything besides death. The only thing I think could be worse than murder would be like long-term sadistic torture.

You know what? Neg rep me all you want. But I think rape is worse than murder. Just for the sole reason that at least once you die, the pain ends (at least I believe so), you never feel anything, you don't regret not living your life because there is nothing. It's over. Rape is remembered all of the victim's life. Many rape victims blame themselves for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, which is outlandishly false. One would live with pain and constant societal reminders of the miserable nightmare they experienced.
