Too soon to tell if the castle doctrine is the direct indicator, isn't it? It will only affect those who do the home invasion thing, anyway. Most rapes are committed by someone the victim knows. The castle doctrine won't likely do anything for these people. Maybe we should just lock our daughters up in our towers.
Even with regicide, it often wasn't a foreign enemy; it was usually local adversaries, many of them family. So much for protective castles, even metaphoric ones.
