Subject: RE: BS: 'Some rape victims should take blame'- ??
"Good grief...people are STILL posting as if the question of whether 'rape is ever justified' has not been answered."

I don't read that.

I read that the question of whether a victim is ever to blame is still up for discussion.

"All that is a real issue is 'what defines rape', and THAT is a muddled issue."


No it isn't.

the defining factor is consent.

In the real world, with real human beings in real circumstances, it is is very clear whether consent has been given or not.

Just try "getting it wrong" with your wife and see how well you are able to convince either yourself or her, and how far down the line you were able to get before you crossed the line.
