> Rape used to mean only the last thing and it was regarded as basically the worst form of assault

No, it did not. That's why you find courts always charged offenders for multiple different crimes when they are carried out together: rape, assault, kidnapping, life threats...

It's much clearer in German. Rape = Vergewaltigung. It contains gewalt = violence. Stuff like "rape by deception" as a court ruled in Israel because a Jewish Israeli woman had sex with a man she though to be Jewish but wasn't shouldn't be considered rape (I'd argue being the wrong ethnicity while having consensual sex shouldn't be a crime at all).

Now we have rape and we also have rape rape, like, the real rape.

Some even consider the financial rape of divorce.

And quantitatively speaking, surely there is some amount of money, which when lost in divorce, is tantamount to the original definition of rape.

(That is, a thought experiment whereby a person might decide a certain amount of money is worth the allowance/aversion of rape of the said bargainer-- such a threshold is different for each person but arguably represents an approximation of a financial quantification of rape-- which, perhaps that amount of money, when lost in divorce, can thereby arguably be considered financial rape)

Especially given that in public health administration, life and health is quantified in monetary terms.
