Exactly! Her conscious free will says No. And yet, rape does happen. The man overpowers her. So, on some level, there must be a karmic explanation as to why the man overpowered her.
Likewise, with the animals. Their free will says "No" when they shriek in terror and struggle to get away.
I don't deny that, clearly, there has been some cosmic reason why this overpowering of their free will has been going on all this time, just as wars and other atrocities have been going on. Why is there 'evil'? That is the perennial question which religions have sought to answer, and so far, the Law of One comes closest to answering it, in my opinion, but even Ra's answer is incomplete.
At any rate, the greater question of why there is an STS path to begin with is beyond the scope of this thread. Getting back on topic, the real question is, in my opinion, What is our role in perpetuating this obvious overpowering of sentient beings' free will? And, do the common attempts at justification - that they are only 2D and therefore their free will doesn't matter - hold any water when the broad range of consciousness (as defined by Ra) is taken into consideration?
:idea: Does anyone have any thoughts on the ideas I have presented in the first post? (Please watch the video before replying, as that is the centerpiece of this discussion.)

That means a world and universe that is more positive than it is negative would be completely acceptable to the One. Same for the other way around. That means that the idea that every time something positive/negative does or doesn't happen, it happens elsewhere, is actually full of holes because in truth the infinite flexibility of the universe could easily accommodate a more polarized universe with no loss to itself.
What I believe actually happens to any such probability/possibility is that it returns to a state of absolute potential. Thus, by choosing to not engage in acts of any particular type, those acts become less active in the collective consciousness as energy is reduced and the concept returns to pure potential. Thus, to choose not to do a heinous act doesn't make it happen elsewhere, it makes the energy completely dissipate and it returns to a state of potential. (If you have convicted yourself to your choice, of course.) The same is true for both positive and negative actions and hence the more you do of one or the other, the more you polarize that energy type and depolarize its opposite.
That's an interesting way to look at it!
