How the fuck is there a statute of limitations for rape in New York?

[Drich]

It's not just semantics. What separates a word like murder from killing is the prohibition and prosecution. Again If OJ Killed His wife and her BF and was release by the legal system then no matter what he by all aspects of the law is not a murderer.

As it is the prosecution of a killer that makes one a murderer. If however in the court of pop culture we decide to call him a murder despite his legal status, that is the matter of semantics.

It is to the legal definition that we are bound first, then if we wish to take liberties with out vocab then that is on us.


same is true here Forced sex and rape are not the same. Rape is a criminal act while forced sex is not. the SOL being the primary determining factor.

And again here if people want to call others rapists even though they were found innocent or can not legally be prosecuted for whatever reason, then this too is a matter of semantics.

Bold mine:

There is no distinguishable difference between "forced sex" and "rape" with regard to the harm it causes those who are on the receiving end of such an act.

That's crap..

Consent is the difference.

Some people like the 'fight/struggle.'

Alot of traditional Asian sexual culture is based on this type of sexual experience. Boarder line rape is almost like missionary sex here.

A woman is not suppose to like/enjoy sex in a traditional context. the hook, for the guy is to be so good that he can make her drop the cultural values and force his partner to enjoy themselves.

The point being forced sex is not always rape. What makes it rape is consent which points back to my original argument that consent is the only difference between rape and any other type of sex. And you can not prove consent.
