@Olivier5,
Quote:Indeed. Plus I do think it's important to maintain a better distinction between different types of 'rape'
The law distinguishes between different situations and circumstances in which rape occurs, but the act of rape--unwanted sexual intercourse or penetrative sexual contact without consent--is the same. Basically, rape is rape.
What is described in the OP would be acquaintance rape or date rape--the most frequent type of rape that occurs--as opposed to stranger rape, where someone is raped by an assailant unknown to them.
You're comparing apples and oranges, they are both fruit, but quite different. The fact that the situation described in the OP is not comparable to the one in that book, does not change the fact that they both describe rapes, simply under different circumstances.
The situation described in the OP is a clear example of a forcible date rape, it is atypical only because it involved a female sexually assaulting the male, where, more generally, it would be a male attacking a female. It is a felony crime. There is nothing insignificant or trivial about this type of rape. And it can be just as emotionally and psychologically devastating to a male victim as to a female victim.
