Being civilized is about rising above our base natural instincts.

Why should we be civilized? we should be happy, and choking down our instincts is not how we get to be happy.
Yeah! To hell with how other people feel! /sarcasm

Good grief, most people simply don't act like this. Nor should they. Think about that.

I'm someone who's been suffering for years because of some trashy people who do whatever they want without considering their impact on others. I'm not saying it's beautiful. I'm saying it's how life works. Don't like it? stop bringing new people in this world. That's what I'm doing.

About most people not doing it: first, it's a lie; there's a huge amount of rape hidden away in homes. Second: people don't do it because they are scared of the other people with guns and cages; which proves my point that might makes right in the real world.
