Counter to that position, though, is the view (which IIRC is "official") that rape is the province of Thed (more correctly Thed IS rape) and thus all rape (socially acceptable or not) is worship of that goddess. The consequence being that all rapists risk becoming broo. In that case it may be that the Heortlings are a special case and their vulnerabilty is more a mythic consequence of the Storm Gods' actions in bringing about the Greater Darkness. Chaos then becomes more objective in that worship of Chaos Gods (even unknowing worship) leads to Chaos.
(I suggested as a YGMV idea that it could be held that some peoples - Char-Un as an example - might consider some acts we would call rape acceptable and might be less at risk as a consequence. But it was suggested as a get-out for use in games rather than anything which had serious support in published sources)
