The real highlight of this page is in one of the comments. The author of the original post seems to be of the school of thought that considers almost all heterosexual sex to be rape. The author of the comment gave this reply:
What your definition of rape does is trivialize what happened to me and other victims around the world. If that is rape, then you'd have to invent a whole new word for what happened to me.
I found out about this page on TVTropes a couple years ago. I forget which page it was on.
Yeah, I've learned to stay away from the online comments sections. If the article you read is crazy, the comments will be even worse.
As for the idea that all heterosexual sex is rape, that comes straight from Andrea Dworkin. She also thinks of pornography as rape, whether it's solo scenes, lesbian or man on man. I could spend all day writing a rant on how fucking crazy she is; don't get me started. Thing that pisses me off the most is, she's taken seriously! She can make statements that are absurd, outrageous and offensive and intelligent people are willing to listen to her and believe her!

Fixed that for you. There are some cool, moderate Christians out there that don't want to force anything on anyone, but there are fundamentalists, religious and otherwise, who want to force all kinds of absurd ideas on everyone.
