Living in some even less convenient world, I think I might consciously apply compartmentalization/hypocrisy upon hearing that someone did that—agreeing that they didn’t commit anything too bad either ethically or legally… then I’d still do something to harm the rapist emotionally, socially or materially, accepting that my aggression is merely an outlet for a moral emotion and not the demand of a consistent principle.

Personally I think the problem is with the quasi-utiliterianism that tends to be the default moral theory around here.
