[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:39 here - disagree with 21:09, women can rape men sure.  And it doesn't take sodomy to be rape, but I would just like for 20:52 to admit to me that there IS a difference between a man being raped and a woman being raped.

I'm not trying to say he couldn't have been raped I'm trying to get you to admit the lines CAN get blurry. Do you deny that?[/quote]

I've never said that consent is not blurry.

I still take exception that being raped as a man and being raped as a woman is any different. In fact, IME, men tend to experience more distress over rape and sexual assault, mostly because they've been given a false sense of security about their power position in life's pecking order. And as I've posted already, the words both men and women use to describe their assaults, or fallout from assaults are the same. It's a loss of power, invasion of self, and break from the world as one knows it.

I'm really not sure what you're after. I think it's cool to disagree, and I'm happy to bat around opinions, because it helps me see the world differently. That being said, your hostility on the subject is weird. I don't think there is anything wrong with presenting consent as black and white, because that leads fewer people to interpreting the greys on their own and running into trouble, personally or legally.
