Rape by Ronan S. Estoque, MA (January, 2007)

Historically, rape was considered a crime against property. This was tied to the concept that women were just properties and that their prime asset is their virginity. Hence, when one has sex with someone that is not your wife, one is practically stealing from the father (if the woman is single) or from the husband (if the woman is married).

Generally, there are only two types of rape. One is forcible and the other one is statutory. From the word forcible – there is an application of force, a threat or coercion. Statutory on the other hand is having sex with a minor.

There are four classification of rapist and these are:


Power assertive
Power reassurance
Sexual retaliatory and
Sexual sadism

Power assertive rapists are those who commit the act of rape just to show that they could commit such an act and could get away with it without getting punished.

Power reassurance rapists are those who commit the act of rape because they are insecure about themselves and that the act of raping someone gives them a certain amount of psychological lift that they still matter and is still significant (if not to the community but to their victims).

Sexual retaliatory rapists are those who were victims of sexual abuse themselves and are just passing their horror to somebody else.

Sexual sadism rapists are those who derive pleasure from the misery and agony of other individuals (usually, the victim).

i agree that rape is 'stealing'. i also believe that once you have had sex with someone out of marriage(premarital sex),you are already stealing her from her father..and that is something an educated and a God-fearing man should avoid!!
but in contrast, let's not be hippocrates, we can't really sometimes ignore the call of our body.

..i am with john ray's side..
i also agree that rape is one of the
ways of stealing; aside from stealing
the victim from his father(single) or from his husband(married), he also steals the virginity of the victim and leave her nothing but sorrow and
pain..And for me, those immoral rapists should go to imprisonment and
suffer from the consequences on what they've done to their innocent victims.

I agree with those statements that i've read that rape is stealing and it happens when a person takes something that belongs to somebody else without permission, that is stealing. And since minors are somewhat can be classified as their father's property,in the case you had an intercourse with these minors, you're classified as rapist already.How come? eventhough there is meeting of minds between the 2 who have done the premarital sex, eventhough they both liked it,since it's still property of the father( and fathers would probably not want their daughters to have premarital sex)...it's still rape that could be clasified as stealing....that's why i agree w/ those and ofcourse stealing is a sin..."thou shall not steal" ^^

I'm 100% agree about the statement of Mr. Ronan Estoque and the comments of others, actually you committing a crime if you steal others posession same with rape. Rape is a crime in a sence of stealing from not only to her/his father/mother/husbond/wife but also from the victim. You degraded to his/her humanity and you ruin the brigth future awaits for her. Do you think if the boyfriend of the victim knows what happen to her, or what happen if the Company where she works or her coworker know that she is a rape victim? Would they look her as the same? Well many things will lose. Thats why in ten Commandments it stated thou shall not steal, in a sense that dont steal soul.

sex is a matter of meeting of the minds of both parties involved, if someone is forcing to have sex against partner's permission its rape and therefore it is a form of stealing of privacy and the right to sat no.
on the other hand, we shouldn't judge rapist for they are only human and that maybe is their contribution of imperfection. yes, sex is nature to us but they find it abnormal, instead of criticizing them why not help them to get out of that deviance??

I agree to you Dr.Estoque that rape is stealing and it happens when a person is forcing to another person to take something that belongs to them without the permission. As what i know if the person are not already couple with are have no right to do sex. And if the person are not agree to do sex but you are force him this is rape. So therefore i agree to your article sir.
It is also good to read by others because it delivers more information about rape.
