People should worry less about what constitutes as rape, by definition of the word, and more about how men in general show a problematic history when it comes to blurring the lines (at best) and outright abusing power when it comes to sex. And not only sex with women, but especially sex with women. So much so that these types of things are only now being addressed, and that there isn't sufficiently clear language available to describe half the acts and situations women have been involved in at the hands of men that have resulted in sexual acts they may or may not have been fully down with.
Was this rape?
Is it rape to take a condom off without telling a girl during sex?
Is it rape to push a girl's head down on your dick?
Is it rape to grab and insert anything without asking?
Is it rape to pressure a girl into sex, even if she finally, audibly, "consents", mostly to shut you up, or because she's afraid of what might happen (I.E. ACTUAL by-the-book definition rape) if she doesn't?
If a girl wakes up in a room, and for reasons she can't remember she is no longer wearing her clothes, and something feels wrong, but there's no proof of anything, is that rape?
I'm not absolving women of their own responsibilities, or potential short-comings, but you can't look at stuff like this without considering the society we live in, the conditions of that society for hundreds of years. Same as you can';t when it comes to race.
We should count ourselves pretty fucking lucky that very rarely do we have to think about any of this shit ourselves. That there isn't a load of grey area when it comes to what gets done to and with our bodies without us fully agreeing to it, or understand what might be happening or why it's happening.
I don't care if she should have "known better", or she's had unprotected sex before. Maybe that's her choice, or maybe she's never felt like she truly has any choice at all before? Maybe it doesn't matter because there's a bigger picture here.
What's that Louis CK joke... (worst guy to use here, but...) "The biggest threat to men is heart disease; the biggest threat to women is men."
I don't know. I just think people need to think long and hard about some of the situations they've most likely been involved in when it comes to topics like this. Even the culture of the way women are talked about amongst men is entirely problematic. And there's no way any of us aren't guilty in some way of contributing to an environment that means some people fall foul of the very thin boundaries that exist between bad taste and bad behavior.
People like this fuck Johan, for example. And his board sponsor and their "sense of humor."
Hubba Wheels and Shorties ads on the wall of countless teenage bedrooms hasn't helped anyone, either.
And sure, that doesn't equate to being a gross fucked up piece of shit who lies to get a girl to take her clothes off. But the same cultural shift that is needed when it comes to race, as well as social and financial equality, are all at play here, too.
Do better. That's probably what it comes down to.
