It's a fun laundry list to read, but... I think it's missing out on something. The complete moral aspect of the issue, boiled down to simple commands, maybe?
No, what I meant was that the list is too simplistic. It just says "don't" and tries to give a variety of situations to convey the idea that rape is bad. It offers behavioral guidelines in lieu of the moral guidelines which should be the reason for not raping people, i.e., we don't rape people because it's wrong not because some giant parent figure tells us no. Even religious people don't generally only do things because God/the gods say... they have their own moral compass as well.
Had a bit of a laugh reading the list to a friend, though. Rape is only ever okay when it's safe and consentual :-D
I used to have something bookmarked that was either a longer version of that or a different variant, but I lost it into the ether a long time ago... wish I could find it again.
