(2) that it can't possibly do any good because "there will always be rapists"

The meme appears to be trying to counter the idea that it's not rape in certain circumstances (such as if a girl is unconscious or dressed in a certain way or whatever). Of course, if the meme included "If he's the new guy in the cellblock, don't rape him", it might do a better job.

No, I don't buy that "there will always be rapists." I buy that there will always be predators. We may be able to build a society where predators are too scared of consequences to resort to violence - but the predators would still be there. They'll just have to restrict themselves to white-collar crime.
