Who cares about adjectives regarding this. Help the victim heal, mentor them to make better choices in the future if needed and execute the violent criminal. Nothing more needs to be said. Why obsess over it like a baby? I think you just want to get Town's friends banned because he isn't around for you to play with.

not at all quincy - unfortunately, the word "rape" is used to cover too wide a group of actions - from the example given where the girl, just let him do what he wanted without struggling to the scenario of somebody breaking into a house and brutally raping an 80 year old woman
do you see the difference?
i clipped the rest of your hysterical rant
do you see the problem with calling them both "rape" and treating them as if they're no different?
Rape is too broad a term, there are too many variables to categorize so many "rapes".

well, that's why i included the examples in the OP that most people would not describe as horrific

This is good. Better choices "if needed". In most cases of rape better choices could not have been made. For the rest, the lessons will probably be self-evident.
Oh no, I will continue to bother you until you return to your own OP and actually address the questions I asked.
Indeed! He seems to believe that he is running the show here!

well, it is a natural outgrowth of the feminist attempt to broaden the meaning - i'm putting together a presentation right now on the historical reporting of rape and it is virtually impossible to compare historical trends to current trends because so many things were not counted as rape in the past
rape within a marriage was not rape, not illegal, not reported
rape with slaves was not counted, not illegal, not reported
rape with children was not counted, not discussed, not reported
it's good that we've changed as a society and that all those circumstance now are recognized as wrong
but we've swung too far when a scenario like the Swathmore student scenario is counted as rape, along with many others that have been under discussion
I'd say "in many cases"
consider:
in many of the cases represented in that chart, the woman has chosen to put herself in a position of vulnerability, a position of risk
I'll get back to this later
How did she describe the incident when she said she was raped?
Did he end up getting charged with rape?

You are an ornery rape apologist and I don't like it.
