An attacker doesn't simply threaten us with death. Much more is taken from a woman that has experienced rape. We will all die once, but I don't believe for a minute that rape is something that God sanctions.
She needs to read the writings of rape survivors; their experiences were not "meant to be," nor were they "God's will." We live in a cruel world, be we are not to condone evil and cruel acts to be committed against us.
If I could write that eloquently, that's what I would have said, too!
