Man, you are relentless. Please note that I was the first person on the thread to say that the situation described in the article was inarguably rape. And I have consistently held that position. So, no, rape is not ok with me.

But when someone raises the question of whether the victim in this case holds any responsibility or whether her actions involved a kind of tacit consent, I think that is a legitimate question. I completely disagree that she was responsible and have stated as much, but it remains a legitimate question.

I pray that your hostility on this issue is not based in personal experience which would be completely understandable. But the name calling diminishes your case.

You are sliding down the slippery slope that I am condemning. Once she has been kidnapped and imprisoned, every subsequent action is under duress until she is free to walk out in the open air. I don't care whether Ayers "asked" pretty please with sugar on top. It is under duress.
