Subject: RE: BS: 'Some rape victims should take blame'- ??
As I said already, I think we're all agreed that in the vast majority of cases the crime of rape is committed by drunk, deranged, or manipulative men...no one in their right mind would seek to excuse that.

There are a few cases which are a little different, like the one I cited, where the woman went to a strangers house, spent the nighjt in bed with him, had sex(which he said was consentual or as near to consentual as they could remember)....the next day the woman reported the man for rape.

Is this rape? and if so, does the woman really bear no responsibility for what occurred?
