Really? Huh. From what I remembered of the original context, it was more to do with posthuman minds being more robust and non-traumatizable, such that being raped did not have any long-term negative effects; reducing it to just another "interesting surprise" in one's day. On that reading, I didn't find it abhorrent.
I still wonder how that would look in practice. Do people have a right to enforce "I'm busy"? :"I prefer spending time with someone else?" "I've been raped four times today and I'm really busy"? What happens to celebrities?
Imagine this as a society where people are entitled to a half hour's work on demand from anyone else they want the work from.
Some guess cultures kind-of sort-of work like that: you don't usually ask people favours unless you really need to, or you know they wouldn't be inconvenienced by doing them, because then they'd feel obligated to do them for you.
