@hawkeye10,
If, your sons and grandsons were totally aware of the new laws pertaining to rape, do you think that they would "attempt" any form of penetration that wasn't consentual? Do you think that it would put some fear in them, thereby, not attempting sex with anyone, until there was some form of relationship?
In one way, respect comes back into play, too many women have been used and abused by the pretence of the word "love" by men throughout their life, in another way, men would walk around in fear which I don't think is fair.
I agree with the article that "sometimes" a woman can not say no, shock sets in very quickly when you are violated.. And, not all women are strong willed either, some, may feel a rapist goes to the next step, murder and be quiet and wait for it to end.
The journey that "person" male or female has to go through especially a male who is raped by another male, who is not gay, is a long journey throughout their life, some never get over it.
Is it wrong therefore to "try" to find a way in which to stop as many rapes as possible? Probably not, it's a violation to that persons rights is it not. The right to be themselves? Which you advocate. But then do what you want, is also something you believe so it is a tricky subject in realty to answer taking the law side out of it for one minute.
Councelling has to come into play, naturally..
But, then just like there is good and evil, there is honesty and lies. I can't deny that there are hundreds of cases whereby, "people" lie and claim to have been raped when they weren't however, "Bill" threads turn but my point was that, this is not what the question was of the thread and that is what I am answering...
Can a woman ask to be raped?
Only if she is with a trusting partner and asks for it, in a game like fashion of her preference..
Otherwise, she doesn't ask for it. She may not be able to get a voice, scream, say no, comprehend what's happening, but surely any one with any brain would know if a woman is lying there doing nothing, then she's either in shock or fear or so out of it, that she's not participating.
In my opinion.
