Now, taking off the fanhat, I understand what the OP means in terms of language, but I also understand what the language means. Rape is rape - it's horrific and messy and definitely not sexual. Non-con means that the focus of the story in question is on the generic and wide-spread fantasy of having sex forced on the owner of said fantasy in such a way that they do not have to take responsibility for enjoying it. That's what rape-fantasy is all about at it's core for most people.
The only reason I'm replying to this is because I think that people need to own up to the fact that what they fantasize about may not be healthy if they attempted to live it, but that doesn't make the fantasy itself unhealthy or wrong. Fantasy is how we deal with many, many personal issues. We use it to explore feelings we're uncomfortable with or to get a grip on aspects of our real-world lives that we have no control over. By digging through this stuff in the safe, absolutely private area of our thoughts, we somehow cope. No fantasy, however immoral in the real world, is wrong in and of itself. I could hypothesize about how the idea of "thought = action" in religion has affected this, but I think that might start more wank. :)
For those who think it's wrong/sick/disgusting/etc... Well, that's your opinion, and you're welcome to it. But please do realize that you're only perpetuating a damaging sense of shame and guilt around female sexuality that has done nothing but harm. Go ahead and look up studies if you must, but you'll find that rape-fantasy is normal, healthy and not actually related to rape-reality.
