[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's statutory rape. Not violent rape.

It's "rape" because a legislative body at some point wrote a law declaring it rape, regardless of the situation.

Had the 17 year old "girl" been a few months older, they could've gotten married in the very same courthouse. But even a day before her 18th birthday, and it's a sex crime.

Ridiculous. Things like this are why many people are branded sex offenders. [/quote]

Annnnnnnnnnd the rapist speaks.

There's a reason for age of consent laws, creep. [/quote]

You sound insane, just thought you should know.

People (reasonable, logical people - not you) understand that "rape" is a violent sex/dominance crime that occurs when one person [i]forces[/i] sexual contact with another person, either through physical means, coercion, incapacity/unconsciousness, or on a child (an [i]actual[/i] child, not a 17 year old) or other person incapable of thinking for themselves.

A seventeen year old girl, in a relationship, and a willing participant, is not being raped, in the way that reasonable, logical people (but not you) define "rape". Because they understand there's a difference. Because they're reasonable and logical.

Question for you, just to plumb the depths of your insanity: what do you think is occurring in other countries like, say, Mexico, where the age of consent or even marriage is lower? Are those young women [i]not[/i] being raped simply by virtue of the fact that the law says that arbitrary age in which they are "adults" is lower? Because if you suggest that they aren't being raped just because the law says they are old enough, but they are yet younger than what constitutes rape here, then how does that fly? It sort of puts you in a box, doesn't it? Then again, maybe you channel someone crazy like Andrea Dworkin, and believe all sex between men and women is rape?
