I'll quickly disprove the notion that 'might makes right' which is what some of you are arguing.

Right is not dependent on might, but those with might do have the option to do what is right or what is wrong. If we are in an argument and I say that the Earth is flat, just because I'm stronger than you doesnt make the Earth flat.

 I suppose I'll have to just as quickly return the favor.

"Might makes right" is a social construct, not a scientific one.

And the same argument applies.

We create our own social rules, and even though social rules are changeable, they change slowly if at all.  Rape has been a social wrong for thousands of years now, so lets use your logic and say that a strong man forcefully rapes a weak woman.  In your argument the rapist would be right because 'might makes right' but in reality that is still a wrong.
