Has the definition of rape become too generalized?

Like for example let’s say a girl is in bed with her boyfriend. She stayed the night. While sleeping with her back turned, in the middle of the night her boyfriend decides to just slide her underwear to the side and penetrates her. She doesn’t stop him, she doesn’t come off as being uncomfortable and she just enjoys it and goes along with it. It’s crazy to think that some people would still call that rape.

Superb Opinion

  • Legally the definition of rape hasn't changed. What has changed is the number of women screaming rape for trivial things such as a boyfriend taking too long or pestering her for sex. It's not hard to find women wondering if they were raped when their boyfriend took their hand without asking. The problem is the more we put under the rape umbrella the less of a crime we make real rape.

    • Also, the more things you put under, make it so less people who were actually raped get heard

    • The crime might become less but the sentences stay the same. At least in America.

Most Helpful Guys

  • I understand the whole rape situation rules they are putting in place with whole consent stuff but sometimes that ruins the whole spontaneous part of it in the end doesn't it like you go to the bed room or where ever you are and you both get horny and that and he stops in the middle and says "I need your consent to have sex with you" or awhile ago they were talking about having people sign a contract to say you consent. Oh yeah all going good, "sorry love we can't continue till you sign this consenting I can fuck your brains out."

  • Feminists like to yell "rape", but relationships are a gray area, people should be extra careful when accusing a boyfriend of a rape. If she already had sex with him in the past it's likely not a big deal for her, a boyfriend should not be afraid to touch his girlfriend, if they already have an history, that said she technically can accuse him of rape in that case, but she would likely look like bad girlfriend if she do that.

  • That doesn't sound like rape at all

  • If she "doesn't stop him" then calling this a "rape" would be an uphill battle since it could just be a "he said/she said" case. The opposition could call this "passive assent".

  • The reason it would be considered rape is cuz not all people enjoy somnophilia. Despite being in an established relationship, everyone has boundaries which means that anything being done without consent can be considered rape. I hate hearing peoples defense being "we're together" cuz that means nothing, you dont own that person. If someone has given you permission to have sex while they are asleep whenever you want, then go for it. If not, then they can call it rape if they never consented to it.

  • It would seem so. Listening to the so called rape reports...

  • It is legally rapw, because she didn't consent to it.

  • I enjoy rape play on me by men and wo. en

  • Some people think that feeling guilty/embarrassed afterwards or changing your mind in the middle of the act, can be enough to call it rape.

  • I would think to stay on the safe side, asking someone if they’re okay with it first should be done. I mean someone could reluctantly do along with it.

    So best thing to do to make sure it isn’t rape. Ask them if they’re okay with sex. Only have sex if they say yes. And if at any point they say they want to stop, then you should stop.

  • Yes, the the definition of rape become too generalized. Many women and liberal nutcases have made the topic of rape into a joke, and that's why most guys are so cynical about it these days.
