Put it this way... I joke about rape ALL the time with my GF.

Rape jokes can and are funny, people really need to get a grip. Jokes are made about everything in life.

I'll guarantee 100% that if your girlfriend is ever raped you will never find the word funny again.
You need to grow up.

No. It's only wrong if men do it, obviously, because men are the oppressors and women are the oppressed and the same actions are therefore completely different because blahblahblah war on women blah blah blah patriarchy.

Or, from a "moderate" point of view, it's wrong in itself but not really and certainly nowhere near as wrong as it is when a man does the same thing.

Group politics, especially biopolitics, is such a lovely thing.

Also, there are varying degrees of rape, and some is more serious than others.

How have I not banned you yet? Let's remedy that.

He got banned for that? Although I don't agree with what he said, people have said far worse and not been banned.

It was a pretty stupid comment, but no, he didn't get banned for that.

Are you not allowed to hold that opinion on these forums?

I don't want to get graphic, but it's not exactly hard to visualise two rape scenarios, one of which is more serious than the other.

Edit: I see the your above post.

Rape is rape. To consider one more serious than another is only trying to justify rape, which of course is stupid.

Yeah I know rape is rape and all rape is "serious".

The seriousness I'm referring to is based on the variable amount of physical/emotional harm inflicted.

What is that dependant on, the circumstances or the victim?

I see your point but if you were at the scenes of two incidents where a wife was reporting her husband for raping her and she was unmarked and a scene where a woman was nearly beaten & stabbed to death, you wouldn't find one more serious than the other?

Yes, one is a murder.

Obviously the perpetrator.

How can you even ask if the amount of harm sustained is down to the victim? If the victim was in control of that variable then there wouldn't be any harm would there?

He said nearly.

Hicks · 10 Mar 2013 at 17:18

So rape is only serious or actually qualifies as rape if there is physical violence to go with it?? :confused:

Rape is rape no matter how you look at it or how it was carried out. Unconsensual sex is unconsensual sex.

I think what Burnsy is saying is that Rape is always a serious crime, it doesn't come in degrees and while the level of brutality or the details are different in every case, we should not be attempting to justify or devalue a case of Rape by comparing it to another case of Rape.

Indeed.
