By that reasoning, every routine examination at the gynecologist or proctologist would constitute rape. We have no reason to suspect that a cow feels "raped" during artificial insemination, or anything more than slight physical discomfort.

Your argument is basically "if it feels good, it's not rape." Disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.

No, you're misreading my post. My argument boils down to "Stop projecting complex human emotions onto bovines without evidence."
