Feminist bullshit notwithstanding, bad sex doesn’t equal rape.  Most of us have at some point been in the midst of sexual activity and wished we hadn’t said yes.  Chalk it up as a lesson learned and next time be more picky about who you let into your pants.

HKG,

Is there any way to get this in a wallet size?  Laminated preferably.

It only matters if you're in Maryland.  Other states don't have to accept this precedent.

I have mixed feelings on this one.  If she says stop, doesn't want to continue the act and he's holding her down, against her will, so that he can finish, I don't see why that would not be rape.

I know what you mean; but I bet you have no idea how bad things can get in certain situations.  I think that you, and many other men, think that way because most men, who are decent people, have no interest in hurting/scaring a woman during sex.  But not all people are decent people.

Still, just as you say, a run-of-the-mill crappy lay that you want off you certainly does not equate to being raped.

That said, like HKG I have some pretty mixed feelings about this myself.

Mostly I'm glad I don't live in MD where people are going to have to start carrying consent forms around with them, and bars and clubs will have to have a notary public on premises.

The term "rape" has been broadened  beyond it's original meaning.  That might not be so bad if it were not that the original meaning is still held by everyone.  When you say "Sarah was raped" nobody thinks "Oh, she got drunk and gave in to a persistent lech" nor do they think "Oh, she consented but decided in the middle of the act that she didn't want to finish."  They think some monster forced himself on her when she clearly didn't want him to do so. 

IMNSHO a woman who decides she's tired and doesn't want to continue or who has had second thoughts after the act has started with her consent is not a "rape" victim.  That isn't to say the guy hasn't necessarily done something wrong.  But whatever he has done probably shouldn't be considered a crime and it certainly shouldn't be considered so serious an act as "rape".  To call it such is an offense to women who really have gone through the soul-shattering trauma of rape.

What if he holds her down against her will so that he can finish?  What level of force is necessary to turn it into rape?  There are legitimate reasons other than being tired that might make a woman want to stop in the middle of sex and not complete the act, like if it's painful, for example.  Should I have to take a brutal cock pounding just because some asswipe doesn't have the decency to stop when asked?

It would never occur to me to be so rude as not to provide an outlet. 

But some women are bitches.  Some guys are bastards.  Some of the bitches and the bastards, apparently, come together in some kind of shit-for-brains Venn diagram, forming a group that wants laws on the books to protect them when they behave like assholes; hence, the subject of this thread.

The next phase will be when some bastard who got blue-balls when the bitch he was having sex with called it off in medias res brings a lawsuit against her.

The kind of chick that does this sort of thing is the same girl who locks herself in the bathroom at parties, crying her eyes out over insignificant bullshit.

Instead of enjoying the party, and attempting to get her attention fix in a positive way (by interacting with happy people), she gets maximum negative attention, and the kick out of pulling others out of their happy place into her drama.

Only problem in this instance is, instead of just ruining a party, she's ruining a guy's life.

If he's using force against her then at that point it is clearly an assault just as it would be in any other interaction between two people that started out amicably.

What level of force is necessary to turn it into rape?

If rape is forced non-consensual sex and the woman consented to sex then it shouldn't be classified as "rape".  It is an assault.  But it isn't rape if sex was already agreed to and consensual sex had been taking place before she decided she wanted to call it quits.  That having been said, a reasonable review of the circumstances would be needed to make a call on an individual case.  For instance, "I told him to stop and he kept going for 10 seconds until he finished" isn't the same as "I told him to stop and he kept holding me down for 30 minutes against my will."  I agree that at that point calling it rape is fair but I'd say that would be a rather atypical example of the type of thing we are talking about.

There are legitimate reasons other than being tired that might make a woman want to stop in the middle of sex and not complete the act, like if it's painful, for example.  Should I have to take a brutal cock pounding just because some asswipe doesn't have the decency to stop when asked?

Nope.  I didn't say that because it isn't rape you have no rights in the situation nor that he isn't necessarily guilty of committing a crime.  Just not rape.  Again, circumstances have to be taken into account.  How long did the act continue after you said you wanted to call it quits?  Did you just say "I want to stop now" once and just put up with it once he said he didn't want to stop?  How long did the act continue?  Did he inflict pain to gain your continued cooperation?  Etc.

So at this point we're defining rape not as non-consensual sex, but only non-consensual penetration?

Bottom line, this ruling is based on proving the evidence of rape.

If a man is allowed to penetrate a woman "consentually," his DNA is probable at the scene of the "crime." Historically, "he said-she said" cases are much more difficult to prove than the classic rape case. Who's to say that he didn't blow his nut twenty seconds after she says "no." DNA alone would convict him while common sense would not.

This law was probably written to avoid this exact scenario.

I'm with you on this one. Am I the only one that can envision a situation where a sociopath schmoozes his way into the missionary position with a lady, and then things get quickly out of control? If a lady agrees to sex, does that mean that the guy automatically gets to do whatever he wants to her from the list of bizarre, aggressive fetishes? And if the law needs to be written to protect either from blue balls or being violated, I'll err on the side of blue balls. Sorry fellas, but our male predecessors earned that for us.

The woman at the center of the Duke case was a low class lying whore who didn’t clean herself between johns.  Below are two excerpts from the Wikipedia article on the case.





Shortly after the party, the prosecution ordered 46 of the 47 team members to provide DNA samples (the only black member of the team was exempt since Mangum had stated that her attackers were white), though some members had been absent from the party. The players gave cheek swabs and statements to the police the day after the party. They also offered to take lie-detector tests, but the police turned them down.[12] On Monday, April 10, 2006, it was revealed that DNA testing had failed to connect any of the 46 tested members of the Duke University men's lacrosse team.[24] After the initial rounds of testing done by the state crime lab were completed, the district attorney sought the services of a private laboratory (DNA Security of Burlington) to conduct additional tests. DNA from multiple males was found inside Mangum and upon the rape kit items that had been tested.[25] However, Nifong falsely represented to the public and to the court that DNA had only been found from a single male source, her boyfriend.[26][27]

On December 13, 2006, defense attorneys filed court papers stating that the private lab had found DNA from multiple males in Mangum's body— but none that belonged to the accused players.[28][29]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It revealed, according to conservative estimates, that the lab had discovered at least two unidentified males' DNA in Mangum's pubic region; at least two unidentified males' DNA in her rectum; at least four to five unidentified males' DNA on her panties; and at least one identified male's DNA in her vagina.[35]

Jumpin' jeebus. At least one actually made it into her vadge...out of ten, none of whom were on the lacrosse team. The whole thing was a travesty for nearly all involved, from the get-go, though it remains questionable--from Nifong on down--who actually had a 'good name' to besmirch. Rowdy, drunk white boys throwing parties with townie strippers don't exactly point True North on anyone's moral compass, either.

Having fooled around with a handful of rowdy, drunk, white lacrosse players in my own time, and by choice, I'm not offering up my re-virginated panties as evidence of anything. And no, it was not "all of them at once." You filthy minded people...

I also don't get why 'no' doesn't mean 'no' halfway through a sexual escapade, if it need be said. Obviously, women can't physically throw off a randy drunkard as well as a man could (and I have), but I do get the standpoint of initial consent implying that one has already passed the "You Must Be This Tall to Ride" sign. I think, however, it's male/power thing to keep going when your partner has had enough.

I'm aware of all of this.

My point was that in our society, a woman only has to accuse a man of rape and he's pretty much convicted. It took the OVERWHELMING evidence against that ho-bag to exonerate the Duke kids.

The reason I'm so "uppity" about this issue is that I personally know 2 boys fucked by this same scenario. One boy dated this girl (and they were having sex) for months. Apparently he cheated on her with her friend and the day after she found this out, she went to the police and claimed he raped her two days earlier. This happened on a college campus and it didn't matter what the truth was, all that mattered was this kid was now "the rapist" in the eyes of the college. He was getting death threats, he got arrested and was in jail for 24 hours before he could get in touch with a relative (his parents were travelling). It didn't matter that cameras show him a good 4 miles (without transportation) away from where she claimed the rape happened, at the time she claimed it happened. It didn't matter that credit card records show him using his credit card 6 miles away not an hour later (heading away from where she was) or that security cameras didn't show him anywhere near her dorm.

All that mattered was she said he did it, so he must have. That and that you can NOT question the "victim".

Second scenerio involves 19-year-old girl all over 18-year-old guy at a party. Girl informs entire party that she is going to "fuck the brains" out of the guy at the party. Girl is said to have "dragged" the boy into her bedroom (at the party). Then both come out a hour later and are laughing and joking around. Next day girl calls guy and guy doesn't want to go out. 2 hours later girl tells parents how she was raped and guy gets arrested.

It doesn't matter that 17 witnesses all tell the same story (over 1/2 of which are the girls' friends). It doesn't matter what the facts are. All that matters is that if a woman says she's raped, then she's been raped.

I believe that if you accuse someone of rape and it is found that you are a liar, you should then have to serve the 20 years. How is it possible that Crystal Mangum didn't serve a day in jail for this? How she could have sent all those kids to prison for the rest of their natural lives and we are suppose to feel sorry for her?

This is the one thing I don't understand about women. The same thing happened when I was in high school and a girl accused a guy of rape only to be caught on tape bragging to her friend about how she was going to send the guy to jail so he could get raped to "teach him a lesson" about how to treat women (again, guy dumps girl, girl accuses him of rape).

The answer is no, however, the first one of those cost the guys dad over $200,000 in legal fees. The other two were thrown out. The one from high school was luck that it got tossed because of them getting her on tape.

If you don't think it happens, though, ask Mike Tyson. His judge was known for her rape conviction rate. She didn't allow most of his defense in court (including the part about the woman being naked in the limo and answering the hotel door naked for room service).

Remember, that was the lady who didn't want her identity revealed and promised this had nothing to do with money (then she was on every talk show the day after Tyson's conviction talking about book deals she was making).

Not to say Mike wasn't a cretin of the highest order, but there is no way what they did was considered rape until after she got home and realized Mike wasn't going to be calling and giving her some diamonds and furs.

I might also add that you don't need to be convicted to be screwed. The kid from college never went back to school (was told he wasn't welcome back) and to this day he gets death threats via email. If you are accused of rape, "the masses" assume you are guilty regardless of what the end result is.

I'm just saying I know of 3 cases where someone was wrongly accused of rape and it dramatically effected their life. There is no way there isn't a decent amount of people wrongly in jail because someone got their feelings hurt.

If you are male and you sleep around a lot, I suggest hidden video equipment. Women are ruthless!! haha

Personally, I'm inclined to believe a rape accuser because there's so many women that get raped and never come forward; I'm loath to do anything that might discourage other victims from coming forward. People get screwed hard by false accusations, but I would still suggest that the pain of being falsely accused isn't as bad as the pain of being raped and having nobody believe you. Not saying what happened to your friends wasn't awful, this is just why I think we have the guilty until proven otherwise policy now.

I don't disagree one bit. Being raped is way worse than being falsely accused of rape. I know a rape victim that has never recovered and it is horrible. I'm not suggesting that we change the way rapes are tried one bit, just how we treat those caught making false accusations.

What I suggest  is that if it comes out that the accuser is lying, they should then suffer the same consequence facing the person they accused. How that Crystal Mangum got away scott-free from what she did is beyond me. At least they nailed the psychotic prosecutor to the wall.

Oh, and only one of those people I talked about are a "friend". The other people are people I just know. haha

I think she got away with it because she had mental health issues.  It would be difficult to prevail in a malicious prosecution lawsuit against someone who is mental.  Also, malicious prosecution is a civil action.  She has no money, hence it's not worth the effort.  In addition, as a society we don't want to scare people into not reporting crimes out of fear that they can be incarcerated if there is not sufficient evidence to prove a crime.

I don't get how you have come to think anyone here is saying "no" doesn't mean "no" halfway through a sexual escapade.  All I'm saying is it isn't "rape".  That doesn't mean a guy has the right to do whatever he wants to a woman after she agrees to have sex with him and he's already entered her.  It just isn't "rape" at that point.  She wasn't assaulted and dragged into the bushes. She didn't have a knife put to her throat.  She agreed to become as physically intimate as a person can be with the guy.  Of course there are exceptions but to say that the guy is a rapist if at any point after entering her she says stop and he doesn't stop (regardless whether force is used and regardless of how long the act continues and regardless of how forcefully she protests) is simply wrong.

"Rapist" carries one of the worse stigmas a man can be branded with.  It follows him for life.  Nobody should be branded a rapist unless they damn well are guilty of being one.

I don't think Ptah was suggesting that if the guy is not found guilty she should go to jail.  If it's provable that she is lying THEN she should go to jail.  Of course, it will be up to the DA to prosecute and it's doubtful that any would ever do so.

You're exactly right, ZK.

Please don't get confused and think I'm belittling rape. That's not my point. I'm not trying to say that a high percentage of rapes are false accusations. I'm just saying that rape is an easy thing to get someone convicted of by making a false accusation because it's always "he said/she said" and the courts (rightfully so) heavily favor what "she said".

The standards used for prosecution currently, for the most part, are wise. I'm only talking about that rare occasion when it is PROVEN that it is a situation of false accusation.

I don't get how you have come to think anyone here is saying "no" doesn't mean "no" halfway through a sexual escapade.  All I'm saying is it isn't "rape".  That doesn't mean a guy has the right to do whatever he wants to a woman after she agrees to have sex with him and he's already entered her.  It just isn't "rape" at that point.  She wasn't assaulted and dragged into the bushes. She didn't have a knife put to her throat.  She agreed to become as physically intimate as a person can be with the guy.  Of course there are exceptions but to say that the guy is a rapist if at any point after entering her she says stop and he doesn't stop (regardless whether force is used and regardless of how long the act continues and regardless of how forcefully she protests) is simply wrong.

"Rapist" carries one of the worse stigmas a man can be branded with.  It follows him for life.  Nobody should be branded a rapist unless they damn well are guilty of being one.

You're playing semantics.  In many jurisdictions there is no "rape."  It's just degrees of "sexual assault" depending on whether there is vaginal (or anal) penetration or not.  Whether he's called a rapist or not, you can still be labelled a sexual predator and subject to reporting.

It won't happen because it would still have a chilling effect on women who might think that they won't be believed.  Also, how do you "prove" a false accusation without videotape?

OK, use search and replace: Change the word "rape" to "sexual assault" or "sexual predator" if that will help.

Witnesses at the party.  Friends of hers who testify about conversations with her where she bragged about making it up.  Etc.  Come on, examples of these are right here in the thread...

Like in the case back in high school that I mentioned they got the girl on the phone with her friend admitting it was a false accusation.

I'm not saying it would happen often, but it could happen. Again, I doubt there would ever be a law to punish a false-accuser, I'm just saying there should be.

I just can't believe it is no big deal to folks that people try to send other people to jail for a long time just out of spite?

Sort of to my point. I can't imagine a male, getting his feelings hurt and retaliating by making up a story to get her sent to prison for 20 years and then laughing about it. (Yeah, I know, there are men out there that beat women and do all sorts of horrid things... )

Yeah, actually, there is; But, it never seems to be enforced (And, with "good reason" - Be-Cause, how in the hell would you expect the likes of Nancy Grace to "fill time" on such a subject).

Fuck every-body.  I didn't land on society - Society land on my ass.  Yeah, I'm just going to start drinking early to-day.
