How about in a case of a robot raping someone? Should I just let it rape me or someone near me until the batteries die?

Sorry, I was lucky enough to be born in a country where I'm allowed to defend myself. And if a robot or a person starts raping me, I'm not going to let them finish until they wear out.

Robots are currently bumbling electric imbeciles and do not perform well in such adversarial scenarios. They are also more fragile than they seem. One could permanently modify the robot's kinematics with the swift impact of an office chair or percussively decommission it's lidar sensor with a baseball bat.
Or you could just step to the side and laugh while it tries to figure out how to re-orient itself.
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
