I can understand the argument between rape and statutory rape though. I just think rape should be the standard, as you can use adjectives to describe it. Violent rape, date rape, statuary rape. Then if you have a preference for which one is worse, that's your prerogative.

Yeah, I hear you, but I'm not even sure there would be debate on the extremes of rape as to which one is worse.
Like a violent rape on a stranger in the bushes of Fish Creek Park seems insane whereas a 25 year-old banging a 17 year-old (consensual) two days shy of her 18th birthday doesn't seem that bad. I mean one of those relationships could end up in marriage and a happy family and one will leave horrific scars and trauma.
That's probably obvious, might be a straw man, and probably contributes nothing, though, so carry on.
