It seems her logic goes to very dark places, very quickly.
In the absence of a moral framework, where whoever is the most fit to enact their will to survive and propagate gets to do so, the strongest get to subjugate the weakest for their own benefit at all times. And it extends up to killing those weaker people.
If she gets raped by a violent man way stronger than her and he forces her to carry that child to term, is the survival of his lineage just survival of the fittest? I guess it’s just tough love, according to her.
I’d rather live in a world where people act in accordance with moral principles more nuanced than “might makes right.” Might may well be the final arbiter, but it shouldn’t the first and only stop along the road.
It's "might makes right" ever-so-slightly dressed up.
