Cyclone   10 #25 Posted March 23, 2018 Did you busy day* just say I created a definition that doesn't fit my definition? *Bloody predictive text  More specifically I said that men being forced to have intercourse doesn't fit your definition.

redfox   10 #26 Posted March 23, 2018 I believe there have been cases where women have been charged with rape by using objects or even their fingers   A woman can only be convicted of rape in my view whilst as an accomplice to a male committing rape; women do not have the necessary equipment.  The legal definition of rape requires the penetrative act to be with a penis  Use of fingers/objects is an Assault by Penetration (s.2 SOA) - I suspect thats what you are getting at - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #29 Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Why doesn't it?  Because it required penetration.  ---------- Post added 24-03-2018 at 08:31 ----------  A woman can only be convicted of rape in my view whilst as an accomplice to a male committing rape; women do not have the necessary equipment. The legal definition of rape requires the penetrative act to be with a penis  Use of fingers/objects is an Assault by Penetration (s.2 SOA) - I suspect thats what you are getting at -  Which is fairly ridiculous really. For example, a woman can withdraw consent at any point and expect the proceedings to stop. Now, this is going to be a little convoluted to avoid all the obvious objections, but imagine a BDSM session, male/female, restrained male, viagra. He says stop. She doesn't. If it were the other way around that would be rape. In reality it doesn't have to involved restraints and viagra, some women are stronger than some men, and the choice to stop doesn't make an erection magically disappear.

Stranza   10 #31 Posted March 24, 2018 It is muddier still.  There were no women rapers because, by definition, they couldn't. Some women who self ident now have functioning penis so can be rapers.  Just to keep it interesting some women who used to be men with penises were rapist. But now id as women so are women rapers even though when they raped they were men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The use of viagra btw doesn't affect the issue - the defence is that the man has to be aroused to attain an erection,viagra doesn't change that.

RootsBooster   24 #36 Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Did i say i was making any claim. I was stating the case as the law sees it.  Are you claiming a man cannot prevent an erection at will?  Do you have any examples of this defence that a man has to be aroused to have an erection?  Also, of course a man can't (always) prevent an erection at will. Without specific conditioning we have very little control over our bodies' reactions to unexpected situations.
