Pragmatism

Very strongly agree

Yes

Pragmatism, as a philosophical tradition, emphasizes the practical consequences of beliefs and actions. From this perspective, classifying and punishing marital rape as severely as non-marital rape aligns with the pragmatic goal of reducing harm and promoting justice. Recognizing the equal severity of rape regardless of the marital status of the individuals involved reflects a commitment to treating all individuals with equal respect and protection under the law. This approach is consistent with modern legal reforms in many jurisdictions that have moved to recognize marital rape as a crime, reflecting a broader societal acknowledgment of the importance of consent and autonomy in all relationships.

Strongly agree

Yes, and consentual sex with a spouse under the age of 18 should be classified as statutory rape

From a pragmatic standpoint, this answer extends the principle of protecting individuals from harm and ensuring justice is served. It recognizes the importance of consent and the special vulnerabilities of individuals under the age of 18. However, the score is slightly lower than the first answer because the practical implications and societal consensus around the age of consent and its application within marriage can vary significantly, making this a more complex issue to navigate pragmatically.

Disagree

No, it should be classified as domestic violence

While pragmatism might see the value in addressing marital rape within the broader context of domestic violence, classifying it solely as domestic violence may not fully acknowledge the specific nature and severity of the harm caused by marital rape. Pragmatists would likely advocate for a nuanced approach that addresses all forms of harm and seeks to provide justice and protection for victims, suggesting that while marital rape can be a form of domestic violence, it also warrants specific recognition and severe punishment on par with non-marital rape.

Very strongly disagree

No

Pragmatism would likely disagree with this stance because it undermines the principle of equal protection under the law and fails to address the harm caused by marital rape. Pragmatists would argue for solutions that address the root causes of problems and promote well-being, and distinguishing between marital and non-marital rape in terms of severity does not contribute to these goals. Instead, it perpetuates harmful norms and injustices.

Very strongly disagree

No, marriage provides legal subordination for a spouse to have sex with the other spouse

This answer contradicts the pragmatic value of treating individuals with equal respect and dignity, regardless of their marital status. The notion that marriage provides legal subordination for one spouse to have sex with the other is antithetical to modern principles of consent and autonomy. Pragmatism, with its focus on the consequences of actions and beliefs, would reject this view as it leads to harm and injustice.
