Will a Horrific Bus Gang-Rape in Delhi Finally Change India's Culture of Rape?

Edit: Incidentally I think based on estimates of prison rape (by the DoJ) this makes the US probably the only country in the world where most victims of rape are men.

Aren't 1 in 4 women raped or something? 

[CountDeMoney]

It is not rape rape since most of those men cannot conceive - the body won't allow it.

  The sphincter has a way of shutting that whole thing down.

[fhdz]

Meh, those prisoners probably dressed provocatively.

Orange is the new mini-skirt.

something like that. sheilbh might be right about violent rape, but i don't know. if you include only violent incidences of rape, the number of men raped in prison drops as well

Yes, I understand the concept of professional sissies and bitches.  But that's not rape, now is it?

I am interested in how you differentiate "rape" from "violent rape" within the context of a incarceration environment, however.  Date rape, perhaps?  Is acquaintance rape pretty big at the Illinois Department of Corrections?

i don't mean sissies/bitches, at least not the type that seek it out because it they feel it offers protection (or are offered protection in exchange). i mean the large guy that forces himself on a smaller guy, and the smaller guy does not fight it off as he feels threatened and fears the consequence of doing so. that very much is rape, and i suspect when reported those incidences are filed as rape. i could be wrong and the only data available is strictly violent-rape, but that would be kind of odd

Do people think about those as separate? After all you are really talking about fear of greater violence. Penetrative sexual assault isn't exactly pain free (re: violence).

Rape traditionally meant the use of force, or the threat of force, to obtain sex.  If the victim doesn't resist, and the threat of force is merely implied, then it can be perceived as being in a grey area.

I've no idea what you are trying to say.

"Rape fantasy."  BDSM.  Situations where the initiator could technically be considered to be committing rape, but there's prior consent to the situation.

[garbon]

I don't think LaCroix was talking about BDSM.

[CountDeMoney]

I don't think LaCroix was talking about BDSM.

No, I don't think he was, either.

Always interesting to see how rape repeatedly sees efforts to get qualified, even by supposedly intelligent people.

[MadImmortalMan]

If the person consents out of fear, then it's rape if you ask me.
