2. Hey I've got a question.
Let's say sex starts out as consensual... but then one person goes nutso and starts hurting the other person... that's rape, right? Consensual sex that changed to rape? Am I getting this wrong?

10. I'll send a dollar to anyone with the guts to post a copycat of this thread
Seriously, did anyone in this board actually say they were the same thing?

17. A clarification - no one here has made assertions to the contrary
Some media mouthpiece, in regards to the whole Chester Stiles thing, said something about Stiles having had "illegal sex" with a 3 year old.

Excuse me, 3 year olds do not have sex. Period.

18. Uh... hmm.
That's an odd way to put it, "rape" would have been worked fine. But I do believe rape is illegal, non-consenual sex. Power is the motivation, sure, but it's still a sex crime. If he had said something to the effect of "illegally making love to a 3 year old" then OK, I could see what you mean.

19. Maybe it's because
"pedophile douchebag fucking toddler rapist asshole child pornographer gonna-wish-he-was-dead waste of his daddy's sperm dipshit motherfucker" would've taken too much time to say?

21. ah, in reference to the piece of human trash that raped a three year old?
i think testicles + car battery could be a good thing in his place.
or castration with a rusty butter knife.
i'm sure some child molestation apologists are waiting in the wings to defend him, however.

22. Please help me out here.
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 05:29 PM by Orsino
Nonconsensual sexual relations is a definition of rape, isn't it? Are we defining sex only as consensual? Isn't there a huge gray area where people with impaired judgment are concerned?

I'll condemn rape all you want, but isn't its use of sex as a weapon part of what makes it so terrible--that it perverts some of the most intimate human contact, turning it into a tool of dominance?

on edit: Or did you just mean that sex and rape aren't the same thing, and neither should be confused with the other? I agree, emphatically.
