TW: Talk of rape

(Anonymous) 2015-10-09 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You're portraying murder as something which has many different variations, which is true. But rape isn't just someone dragging a stranger into a dark alley - it can be a great deal more complicated.

I have a serious partner or maybe a spouse. We go to have sex. In the middle of it, they ask me to stop for some reason. I don't, maybe only for a minute, maybe for several. That's still rape. It should be considered rape. But it does not require a concentrated, sustained, and determined mental effort.

I am drunk. There is someone else who is drunk. They are passed out. My decisions are impaired and for some reason I believe they want to have sex with me. That is rape. But in this situation, I'm not trying to hurt them. Maybe I think they love me, they want to have sex. It does not require a concentrated, sustained, and determined mental effort.

There are many things that are rape and sexual assault, and not all of them require planning, effort, or intent to harm. I'm not saying it isn't rape or that these people shouldn't deal with the consequences. But I think it's important to make this distinction because rapists aren't all evil-laughing people who just want to hurt others all the time.

I agree with this post. There are different contexts for sexual assault, and while it's important to recognise sexual assault as such in those contexts, it is not reasonable to equate all sexual assaults as the same crime anymore than all homicides.

That's the thing isn't it? Rape is usually perpetuated by people close to the victim, not by a stranger in a dark alley. It's still rape however, and it's still wrong.
