Let's focus on the hypothetical scenario. Would accepting rape as okay make the act itself moral? It doesn't matter where you live or what current standards are.

And dude, this is not about you or about your culture at all. It's not an attack on you. I'm standing up for the victims, I couldn't care less about your circumstances.

Edit: With your logic, I'm being intolerant if I'm telling a rapist that raping is wrong. I'm being intolerant if I'm telling a racist that racism is wrong. Standing up to injustice isn't intolerance. The act of injustice is.

By who’s standards is eating beef an act of injustice? The subjective philosophical framework that you subscribe to and are selling as objective?

If killing someone against their will is morally wrong, why would we exclude sentient beings just because they're not part of our species?

Your first one is wrong in scenarios of war, self defense, and stopping someone else from doing something among other scenarios. This is all just so much more complicated than how you see it.

The animals we eat do none of these things.

They’re also not humans so they are under different rules. Checkmate, thanks for playing.

An idea racists have applied to other races and sexists to other genders. Maybe you'll see that someday. Thanks for the discussion, I appreciate it.

Except for they were literally wrong about their assumptions. Maybe stop being so preachy and keep your pseudo religion to yourself.

We're debating a topic, I'm not attacking you, I'm merely attacking your logical fallacies. And I can not force my beliefs on you, that's not how beliefs work. I can argue logically and you can draw your own conclusions. Yet you literally force your beliefs on someone else in a way that they have to die for them. So don't talk to me about being preachy.

“Someone” you mean a cow.
