Re: TW: DV and Rape

[soldatsasha]

I would say, no, definitely not?

Many (probably most) abusive relationships are "consensual". The abusive partner might be awful, but the abused partner is consenting to stay with them for whatever reasons (they don't think they could get a better partner, they have issues with self-esteem, "when things are good they're great", they don't know what a healthy relationship looks like, whatever). The abused partner isn't chained up in a basement or anything like that, they have the power to leave and/or refuse to allow it to continue. But they're choosing not to for whatever reason.

From an outside perspective, those reasons and choices are pretty dumb, but it's not our place as outsiders to invalidate someone else's sexual/romantic choices. Especially because constant invalidation like that is a big contributing factor to why people feel worthless enough to stay in abusive relationships in the first place.

That's not to say that rape never happens in abusive relationships, bc of course it does. But not every victim of abuse is a victim of rape.
