The only point I can't agree with. The audience does not (or is not supposed to) consist of 8 year old children who could possibly be shaped by this. It gives across the message that rape is OK no more and no less than the message that murder is.
That doesn't justify what the author said, though, imo he insulted the female sex with it.
I find it disturbing, but for different reasons than you.
