I’ve never understood this sentiment. Is the torture of a man somehow morally preferable to the torture of a woman? Is it easier for you to “envision” the torture of a man, and if so, why?

There are ways to torture a woman that can't be done on a male body. A woman prisoner can be raped repeatedly . . . gang raped . . . breasts cut off . . . I don't think men are usually raped (even anally) while being tortured. And I've never heard of a man having his breats cut off.

A man's torture would be physical and mental but no torture of a man compares with a gang rape of a woman. Being defiled sexually with the "seed of the enemy" inside your body . . . what kind of torture of a man compares to that? Which is why I do not believe that a woman should be placed in a position where she could become a prisoner of war. Call me old fashioned, if you must, nothing compares to rape. It is the ultimate degedation of a woman. And if she lives through it, it remains in her nightmares forever.

That didn't answer your question, probably. I look at John McCain and know he suffered through broken bones and rebroken bones, but nothing that happened to him compares to a gang rape of a woman. Bones mend, a repeatedly raped woman can never again be completely whole.
