And that's totally valid. I can understand why crimes against children are so viscerally repugnant. I'm just uncertain that we should let our outrage at that cause us to give crimes against adult women a backseat emphasis. Punishment for rape is often barely more than a slap on the wrist (if that), and perhaps grouping offenses like child rape in there (which seems to get more of a reaction out of people) will make it clear that sexual violence against children isn't the only kind we should be worried about.

Just thinking out loud as well. But I can see what you're saying.
