If you want to hold an opinion which is viewed by society as dangerous, presenting as just a hypothetical, might allow you to reduce your criticism, while still openly stating it.

Given all opinions are based around what you would do in a hypothetical circumstance, the limits should be pretty low.

Also, there's a strong difference between satire and hypothetically asserting that rape is innate.
