Richard Dawkins angers the whole internet by saying some rapes are “mild”

Yesterday, (previously) one of the world’s most respected scientists, Richard Dawkins angered almost the whole of Twitter by saying some rapes and instances of child abuse were worse than others.

He argued some rapes were worse than others, but that didn’t mean any of them were OK.

While a lot of people actually agreed with the divisive opinion, the words he used got many people’s backs up.

Many people were confused about the term “mild rape” considering rape in any context is generally considered to be the opposite of “mild”.
