[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on board with how this could happen, sure.  I guess it's the definition of rape.  If someone changes their mind, isn't conscious or isn't actively saying "YES"then it's rape.  period. And that applies to a man or a woman.

So - how do we feel about a woman who is saying "no,no, no" but actively undressing, groping a man, and doing all of the work to make intercourse happen.  Is it still rape because of the "no" in the scenario?  [/quote]

Yes. And you put her in a cab or just walk away. [/quote]

I just find that the letter of the law can't really extend to all of the nuances and confusion and miscommunication that can take place during sex.   I realize consent must be given, but I also don't think a man should forcefully STOP a woman who is doing everything within her power to have sex with him except for saying the word "no." and risk hurting her to stop the act from occurring.  You just "put her in a cab" or "walk away" right? But, it's not that easy, it wasn't that easy for OP's 200 lb man to do - that's what YOU'RE arguing here right?

Everyone wants to act like there's a black and a white here, but there are more shades of grey than I think people want to be comfortable with and that the law can possibly encompass.  A petite woman "raping" a 200 lb man, is an area that feels a little more grey to me than if you switched the roles there. That's a fact - and I don't see why we can't say that and have that conversation without being called idiotic, misinformed people.  [/quote]
