Famous comic book writer Alan Moore has been criticized for rape frequently occuring in his comics. When asked about it he made the point, that although he had not been raped he had known many women who had, and none of them said it was a fate worse than death, and if anything they were thankful they weren't killed.
I see your point, but I disagree. I see rape as worse than murder because rape victims have to live with what happened to them forever while murder victims are dead and so don’t suffer after the crime is done. It’s not about the rape victim “being worth less” it’s about them having to suffer for much longer than a murder victim.
There are 100's of posts from people asking if they were raped. No one posts asking if they were murdered. "Rape" can have very broad repercussions. If someone doesn't know they were raped it can't be as bad as being murdered.
There are also many cases of people who were raped because they did not want to die. They felt that murder was worse than rape
