Bouvier Law Dictionary Rev. th ed. (1856), 'Rape - The carnal knowledge of a woman by a man forcibly and unlawfully against her will.' Sexual assault, sodomy, and rape are not rape?

Rape is rape as I said and I've seen no specific incident where rape was called anything but rape in these cases. You need 1650 of them to support your numbers. Sexual assault and sodomy aren't necessarily rape.

You know, I certainly wouldn't want to place evidence of my lack of reading comprehesive skills on a public forum for the world to see. Typos are another matter altogether!

You think all sodomy is rape?

What part of 'carnal knowledge of a woman by a man forcibly and unlawfully against her will' don't you understand? From a more modern dictionary, maybe it doesn't contain those big words that seem to trip you up:

'The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse.'

You think all sodomy is rape?

From the charges: Assault with intent to commit sodomy (an assault against a human being and must be committed with a specific intent to commit sodomy)

It's not consenual.
