When girls understood that the best thing to do was to wait until your wedding night, this wasn’t as much of an issue.

My father’s family is wealthy, but they suffocate me. My mother’s family is poor but I enjoy them. Should I still hang out with my father’s family? It’s just almost unbearable.

By the way, would you like to get another drink? Ah, great! Come with me now. Fantastic, let me get the key in here.

Scotch?

Sure, I’m Jewish. Oh vey, couldn’t you tell? Yah, oy vey. I meant that. I was kidding.

So tell me about you.

Maybe the woman should be convicted of raping herself. Women tend to lie to themselves when they are getting into bed with a man they barely know; it’s not exactly a nitpicking examination of the man and his veracity at 1 am.

“What are you in for?”

“Rape.”

“Rape? You’re a woman. How . . .”

“I lied to myself. I knew he wasn’t everything he said he was, but I thought some of it might be true. And he was good looking. And I was lonely. They gave me 13 years.”

Can I sue my wife for fraud? She wore this killer outfit when we first met that made her chest look bigger than it was and her waist smaller.

Boy, thinking back to my younger single days and all the lies I told. Not to mention all the lies that were told to me.

A number of years back, a woman answered her door late at night, let her boyfriend in, went back to bed and they had sex. After he asked, what should they tell his brother?
It was her boyfriend's twin.

They couldn't find a rape statute to charge him with. They best they could do (IIRC) was "unlawful impersonation", or something like that.

A very slippery slope. Something the man hating lefties love.

Suppose I marry a girl that pretends to have a strong sex drive (in order to snare me) and then cuts me off after the wedding? Is that any less fraud than misrepresenting my income or background to get into her pants?

That incident sounds vaguely familiar. The article says that
state laws on rape leave very little wiggle room, according to
SCOTUS

This was a subplot in the movie "The Prestige."

In one case, a man from Westfield, Mass., was accused of rape after he allegedly impersonated his brother in order to have sex with his brother’s girlfriend in the middle of the night.


I’m fine with this (deception as to WHO you are) being rape. but deception as to WHAT you are (rich, etc.) isn’t, because it falls under the category of caveat emptor.

I wonder if the law would be applied both ways, imagine if every woman who lied about her age got prosecuted for raping the gullible man.
