I'm sure Richard will answer for himself but I think the point was that the law has become enlightened on the subject of victims (Ie those who are starving) when it comes to stealing bread and yet they still seem to disregard the plight of the victims in the case of rape. Nothing to do with justifying rape and if you look back at earler postings I think you will find that there were only one or two people who tried to do so. Richard was not amongst them.

Probably a classic case of mis-reading or mis-writing a point on an internet forum!
