[Serious] PSA: Rape Apologetics

[John 6IX Breezy]

Rape IS a violent act.

"The problem is that a man can also force a nonconsenting woman to engage in sex without resort to actual 'violence.' Power will do. The 'rape as violence' approach may strengthen the case for punishing violently coerced sex, but it may do so at the cost of obscuring the case for punishing forced sex in the absence of physical violence." 

"The available data suggest that while violent stranger rape may be among the most frequently reported crimes in this country, the non-traditional rape―the case involving non-strangers, less force, no beatings, no weapons―may be among the least frequently reported, even when its victims perceive it to be "rape." In many if not most of these cases, forced sex is tolerated by its victims as unavoidable, if not 'normal" (Estrich, 1986).
