Am I in the "coo coo's nest"?

Rape is FORCED SEX. It's that simple. It is a violent oppressive sexual act, for crying out loud.

Geez. I'm amazed at how the most simplest of notions are complicated by human minds.

1. I believe coercion is sometimes (but not always?) considered rape

as is sex with someone who doesn't have the consciousness to give an up or down vote.

2. oiy...

I am newly dissapointed at some so called 'liberals' or whatchamacallits here.

Forced sex, is still sex according to the forcer. But what about that other person?

3. Actually, here is a legal definition.

Sorry to make things "complicated".

http://www.healthyplace.com/Communities/Abuse/lisk/legal_rape_definition.htm

Rape is an act of sexual intercourse carried out:

1."against a person's will by means of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the person or another."

2.where the victim is unable to resist because of an intoxicating, narcotic, or anesthetic substance that the accused has responsibility for administering.

3.where the victim is unconscious of the nature of the act and the perpetrator knows it.

4.where the victim believes, due to the perpetrator's intentional deceptive acts, that the perpetrator is her spouse.

5.where the perpetrator threatens to retaliate against the victim or any other person, and there is a reasonable possibility the perpetrator will execute the threat -- "threatens to retaliate" means threatens to kidnap, imprison, inflict extreme pain, serious bodily injury, or death.

6.where the victim is incapable of giving consent, and the perpetrator reasonably should know this.

7.where the perpetrator threatens to use public authority to imprison, arrest, or deport the victim or another, and the victim reasonably believes the perpetrator is a public official.

6. eg "forced sex" DUH!!!

Use of force to have sex.

You just listed all the ways "force" is applied.

It's still simple. Rape is "forced sex".

11. I think the confusion is coming it because

although it is sex, the motivation is not sexuality. It is violence and control. Hence some think of it as an act of violence instead of a sexual act.

Nevertheless, if slot "A" is going into flap "B" then technically speaking it is indeed sex.
