Takes the valuable resource from the victim without reducing the degree to which they have that resource or provide it to others for their own benefit.
Uh, rape often reduces the degree to which one can provide sex / fertility to others. I don’t think that’s the best analogy.

I originally included caveats (like gentleness and maybe birth control) but decided that wasn’t really necessary. After all when we call copying movies ‘stealing’ we don’t bother to include disclaimers about things like “while breaking into your house to steal your TV they destroyed your door and broke your arm when you tried to stop them”.
I don’t think that’s the best analogy.
It quite possibly isn’t—I’ve hardly done an exhaustive search. I expressed only a comparison to stealing.
