You didn't give the complete case. Get back to me when you do.You didn't answer the question. Let's have a straight answer. In the case of the wife who found out she was pregnant, was the act objectively bad?
Then use "good" or "bad" or "right" and "wrong".
Technically raped? Either she was raped or she was not; which is it?
Tell us all we need to know to judge the morality of this human act. For instance, did she have a sign on her unconscious body that read, "No sex tonight, dear. Thank you." When you've thought your "good" rape case through completely and disclose all the circumstances one needs to know to judge the morality of the act then we can move forward.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_coercion_among_animalsHave you read the definition of a "human act"? Please do so as understanding the difference between the act of a rational being and an irrational being is critical to understanding morality. Animals never commit rape.
What problem is that?
If she was raped then the act was objectively bad. Next?He had sex without her consent. That's rape, which is the only fact you need. Was it objectively bad? I mean, the answer is either yes or no. It can't be difficult.
If she was raped then the act was objectively bad. Next?
Just how do facts work?
Most everything you post is questions. How about some answers for a change.
Definition of FACTAnswer the question, just how do facts work?
If she was raped then the act was objectively bad. Next?
I think it's weird to call our subjective statements "beliefs", honestly. We both find Brussel sprouts to be nasty, yes? But would you say that you believe "nastiness" is a property of Brussel sprouts? I wouldn't. When I say that "Brussel sprouts taste nasty" all I'm doing is describing my personal experience of them.But given a belief, it is not so easy to turn into a fact in every case. Given certain beliefs about food tastes or musical tastes, I don't think any such objective facts exist. The question on the table is about moral beliefs. Can they be transmogrified into objective facts? I don't see how.
And what about Fred and Wendy? Was raping Wendy only bad if Fred thought that it was, you know only subjectively bad?
