I can’t help but think of the old saying back in high school, “You might as well, I’m going to tell everybody you did anyway.” ;>)
Rape is rape... is rape. The moment she removes her consent, it becomes rape.
What the hell happened to guys being gentlemen and self respect?
I was an LEO for 30 years (retired for about 8 years), and I have met more rape victims than I care to remember. For these victims, it is never over... those few minutes can torment them for a lifetime. Some are strong and move on, but rape can destroy a woman’s life.
When I was 15 my mother was brutally raped by a predator rapist. The suspect was identified but never charged. The podunk “good old boy” cops couldn’t investigate their way out of a paper bag.
Though I was wrong to do so, I swore I would someday hunt him down and kill him. Many long years later, I discovered that he was already dead.
My mom was a strong lady, but I could see that it bothered her all of those years.
One last thing... rape is not just about sex, it’s about control over the victim.
I completely agree with everything you said and you’ve stated it better than I could.
Once you feel your desire is superior to the other person’s request, you have committed a rape, regardless of the time she said “no”.
If you don’t have the self control to get up and get off, you’re no better than a serial rapist, imo. If my friend/sister/mother/daughter came to me and said they got in over their head and asked him to stop and he refused, someone better hold me down because he’s going to be sorry he was ever born with male reproductive parts. And I dare anyone who’s making the case otherwise to say the same of their family.
That’s right. Rape is a crime of violence in which sex is the weapon.
