Rape doesn’t have to involve a person. Rape must involve a sentient being that can communicate its wants and desires. Humans and cows are both of those things.

Yeah, agreed. Go ahead and quote me where I stated that an animal cannot be raped. Artificial insemination is not rape though.

You’re losing the argument

We’re trying to get to the bottom of why you think forcible impregnation of someone is rape while of a cow isn’t.

You said that dogs can be raped, and specifically pet dogs.

I pointed out that there are no differences between pet dogs and stray dogs, and likewise between pet cows and stray cows.

I called you out for holding a subjectivist world view because the outcome of raping a pet dog and a stray dog, or pet cows and stray cow is the same. Something happens to them that they would’ve have sought out for in the first place if it wasn’t forced on them. That is the objective reality.

Subjective views of reality where empathy doesn’t apply by virtue of no personal connection sends society back into barbarism. Your world view is compatible with allowing black women to be raped in a world with chattel slavery because slaves were once though to be property of a white male.

Plain and simple: your world view is wrong and morally indefensible. If you like it that way, so be it. But you’re sick and twisted if so.

  Imagine thinking you have the moral high ground while trivializing and using the suffering of actual rape victims and slavery by falsely equating it to something as harmless as artificial insemination of livestock. That’s genuinely disgusting.
  
  Do you really think this makes you look good or helps your argument?

    How do we know that artificial insemination isn’t traumatizing to cows? Where is your evidence of that? You claiming that rape to cows is harmless is trivializing.
    
    Comparison doesn’t mean perfect equation. Don’t fucking put words in my mouth.

    So now you’re admitting they aren’t the same? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance
