It will usually happen in a familiar setting with a person you thought you could trust. Young women are especially at risk of being raped by boyfriends who tell them they'll leave them if they don't have sex with them, or pull the old "if you loved me you would..." Coerced sex is rape.Nothing you have said to me means that if there is a possibility that what is what is happening is rape, the correct response is exactly what I have been saying it is. Because to me, I don't care what the other considerations are. What SHOULD be the case in everyone's mind is that if they are about to be raped by someone, they will either run away or kill that fucker.
Boys these days can easily get the impression from movies, TV and Porn that sex is something they're entitled to, and women exist for the sole purpose of getting them off. Who's there to tell them any different? All they're told is not to commit the most violent kinds of rape, which funnily enough, are the least common.
I definitely know this is not the case. It just my opinion that it should be, and the world would be a much better place if it were.
Also, of course, that is exactly what I will do if ever in that particular situation.
