Rape :
“unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person's will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception”

Rape. Because rape survivors have to deal with that for the rest of their lives. It slowly eats at them everyday. You don't forget it, it always comes back to you. Constantly haunting you.

It's like a horror movie but instead of the killer just killing you like everyone else they keep tormenting you on a daily basis. It never ends.

[BarryLiverstone]

Is that in all cases of rape? Because obv rape is tragic and no one wants to have that happen but when I saw the definition it could be getting too drunk to consent to sex.

[mandyfire98]

Some cases are more severe obviously but at the end of the day rape is rape.

[mandyfire98]

That fear and loss of self can still happen even if you were drunk. You will get sober eventually and have to deal with the fact you were raped.

[BarryLiverstone]

Thanks. I know that my cousin was a victim of date rape. He got her pregnant and she decided to have the child. They are currently married with 3 kids. She must suffer everyday, that sucks :(

[mandyfire98]

She married the guy that date raped her? Were drugs involved?

[BarryLiverstone]

Correct. She was a virgin and wanting to wait for marriage as she wax raised Christian. No drugs were involved.

[mandyfire98]

So both were drunk at the time?

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s the story I heard. Both had been drinking and she ended up pregnant.

[mandyfire98]

If they were both heavily inebriated at the time then technically nobody was taking advantage though. Rape is often about exerting power. Taking advantage of someone.

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya, that’s why I asked about all cases. Was told it was date rape as she wanted to remain a virgin and he convinced her to have sex.

[mandyfire98]

So he was sober enough to convince her? Actually talk her into it?

[BarryLiverstone]

I don’t know tbh. This was years ago and only they were on the date. It was just explained to the family that alcohol was involved and that she was date raped.

[mandyfire98]

That's definitely a trickier scenario. Only your cousin could determine that really

[Apple1996]

Rape is far worse. I would much rather die this week than be raped.

[strateguy632]

death is worse. the proof is rape victims do not choose suicide because death is worse.

[BarryLiverstone]

I thought death also, but more people have voted rape for some reason?

[12karen]

Death, I don't want to be raped and then live with trauma all my life, it's better to die in my opinion

[kris89]

Rape is what you would have to live with and that mental torture is worse than death. With death there is peace.

[Anonymous]

probably death is worse but since i wouldn't mind being dead i'll pick rape as the worst lol

[Anonymous]

I don't want to die this week. But I definitely don't ever want to be raped again.

[BarryLiverstone]

But death is worse , right?

[Opinion Owner]

Have you ever ben raped?

[BarryLiverstone]

I’ve never died nor been raped. Gotta think death is worse.

[BarryLiverstone]

Why do they have a death penalty and not a rape penalty? Because death is the end of life
