That Katie Price link didn't work above, sorry...

Dave, no rape is justifiable, but I feel there are different forms of it, as someone suggested earlier on. (Pre-meditated etc...)

That does not make ANY form right, or excusable. But if someone has been literally taken to the edge, sexually, played along with and been led to openly believe that willing full sexual intercourse is what is on offer, and then, at the final moment that offer is suddenly withdrawn, I think that some folks would realise that, anger, bewilderment and frustration had a huge part to play in what may happen next.


However, rape is still rape, and any man who chooses to cross that threshold must be aware of what he's doing and be prepared to suffer the consequences of that. But in those circumstances, I feel the blame should be shared out a little, don't you?

Maybe it would be good if the girl could put her hand up and say "You're right, I was a fool, I never meant it to go that far. I hate what you did to me, but I understand now that I should never have taken you to that point in the first place. It doesn't excuse what either of us did, we both behaved very stupidly."

And he could apologise too, profusely, on his knees! And then, who knows, the healing process may start to happen, for them both, because I should think that in that set of circumstances, the man involved would feel horrified at what he'd done.

Dunno, could be wrong, but I'm just putting a different view across.




For those who rape strangers, prowling upon them, seeing all women as 'asking for it'...well, I'd shoot 'em dead, that way you'd not have nutters like The Yorkshire Ripper coming to the end of his sentence, because his sentence should never end. His punishment did NOT fit his crime. Last year it was stated that he was now a low-risk prisoner and should be freed.#

He raped and cut up 13 women. He will NEVER be low risk anything.

Those who rape, repeatedly, should never be allowed out of prison, ever.
