I'm not saying all rapes apply to the scenarios I described; I agree each case needs to be approached on an individual basis. What I'm saying from many of the "rapes" I've been told about the circumstances were absolutely ridiculous, and many of those with merit could have been avoided.
Matter of fact, I was a rapist in the eyes of about 30 to 40 people for a good many years. My current wife, after our initial breakup at 17 years old, was convinced by her psychiatrist that I forced sex on her. That information shared with her family and friends, next thing you know she's "The girl that got raped by her boyfriend". So ingrained was this into their social network that her family begged her, in tears, to reconsider marrying me. I think that's the reason I'm so concerned about the "other" side of the rape issue; the number of falsely accused and their reputations after the fact. Even a suspected rapist acquitted of charges can say goodbye to certain future aspirations.
But to the point I originally made, it goes to more of a responsibility issue. I can see in some circumstances where what happened is unavoidable and not the fault of the victim, and I don't think I ever said otherwise.
Ride down from Asgard to the battlefield,
Bringer of the valiant dead who died but never yielded,
Carry we who die in battle over land and sea,
Across the rainbow bridge to Valhalla,
Odin's waiting for me.

You come in, act all superior, won't do any of the research required to discuss the topic intelligently, get annoyed when someone pushes you into it, and then get all offended and throw a petty little tantrum cause folks took issue with your own truly overwhelming arrogance ?
Welcome to the realities of the internet.
Cry some more.

Why Frem , it seems that you've broadened a bit...
For someone whose posts are allegedly too long to suit the needs of tantrum-throwing judgmental self-righteous knaves , that post of yours was concise , to-the-point , and displayed considerable restraint...
I tip my hat in tribute !

Sometimes these boards can be frustrating, especially when you take a position against the majority. But mainly I do enjoy the RWED because I get to hear points of view I would normally never even listen to. You cannot help but to occasionally be enlightened here, and that is a good thing. Now, go home & get your shine box!

For someone supposedly schooled in Oriental philosophy , it sure seems that you know nothing about 'saving face'.
