| Nov 28, 2022 at 21:15 | comment | added | ShadoCat | @INPU, the main point is that allowing something that goes against the society's norms shows a breakdown in that society. For good or bad, that society is breaking down. My 4 examples just show that societies don't have to be internally consistent with their stances. | |

| Nov 24, 2022 at 1:27 | comment | added | INPU | This answer seems more focused on making a point about the current social and political situation of the United States than this question. While it's a relevant example, I'd advise being more careful in the future. We're not here to debate about politics in a country many of us don't even live in. The semantics of the word "murder" to begin with is a good catch, though. I've made a clarification to my original question; it is pertaining to indiscriminate killing that is seen as socially acceptable more than what is technically murder, as Alexander suggested in their reply. | |

Putting them in the same sentence as if a thought process could apply to both of them equally is poor reasoning. Men often get away with rape due to victim blaming. They SOMETIMES get away with murder by doing so. If there isn't enough room in the jails, they will let rapists out before non-violent drug offenders, but we keep the murderers locked up as a high priority. | |
