rape ^r`ap n 1: a carrying away by force 2: sexual intercourse by a man with a woman without her

consent and chiefly by force or deception; also : unlawful sexual intercourse of any kind by force

As if the line between normal and acceptable consensual sex and rape wasn't thin enough already,

there are those out there that wish to make it an even narrower, less defined and more twisting line to

stay on the right side of. It seems as though somehow, somewhere, someone decided that the two terms

defined above are in some way related. However, in the manner of logic which I possess, they are not.

The debate now is rape, and what constitutes that once horridly thought of crime. In the opinion of

some, rape is no longer just a physical act of violence that accompanies uninvited sex. Rape, as defined

by some, can occur even when the two parties involved agree verbally or otherwise to have sex. This to

me, seems absurd. In the most basic terms, and with the simplest definitions, no means no, and okay,

yeah, yes and please, all mean yes. The term "NO" is not very complicated,

I'm not the only one who thinks this. David R. Carlin, Jr., in his article "Date Rape Fallacies" writes

male gender as an entire group. She argues that "Hunt, pursuit, and capture are biologically programmed

this attitude, would willingly follow an intoxicated member of a fraternity up to his room, an expect

simply the result of internal desire.(12; par.3)." I find this to be an acceptable definition of

immoral, but again, it is not an attempted rape. Nor is it illegal.!
