But they're not the same, you know. There are a non-zero number of situations where a poor person's continued health or even survival will depend on stealing. This is not true in the other case.

Good point. I would not argue with "there are times when it's OK for the poor to steal."

Also, part of the issue is when the rich are stolen from, it doesn't, in fact, hurt them the way being raped does, so it's a huge false equivalence.

So it's a really problematic statement.

But, but… the rich really are hoarding all the money!

Seriously, read about this bullshit Zappos is pulling and tell me it doesn’t read like a pastiche of misogynist claims about how women treat men.

Exactly what is the rape-oriented equivalent of overpaid CEOs and exploited workers, of bankers manipulating the economy and of mortgage foreclosures?

I don't think the analogy covers that. There are unjustly rich people, but I don't accept a freelance right to take from them by force.

The argument you were proposing to refute is "it's OK for the poor to steal because the rich have all the money." My comment concerns why they have all the money. I think that's relevant to any discussion of why some people consider themselves justified in taking it.

Rapists have arguments as to why they're justified in raping, too. If the money arguments can't be refuted along the same lines that the rape arguments can, the whole analogy is so limited as to be useless and misleading.

That seems to be rejecting the rape justification's conclusion while accepting the justification's premise, that sex is a prize that women control and men pursue.

their idea that saying it's OK for the poor to steal because the rich have all the money is like saying it's OK for men to rape because women have all the pussy
Is this a typo or proofreading malfunction?

If there is, I don't see it. In retrospect, it seems like one of those intuitive leaps that conclude with me on my ass. I thought I saw a connection that probably needed much more explanation or putting it aside until such time as I could make it clearer.
