Is this Rape?

<p>RainbowSprinkles, did you just skim the article? Here’s a quote.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I can’t tell if you just didn’t read past the first sentence, or if you’re unnecessarily directing your opinion toward HarryJones.</p>

<p>Well, in a district where prostitution is illegal, it would be neither rape for theft in the eyes of the law, since she gave consent and had no legal right to expect payment.</p>

<p>In a district where prostitution is legal, the act of making it legal includes the implicit assumption that it is just another service, in which case it would be breach of contract, but not rape.</p>

<p>What God thinks of it in either case is probably another matter entirely.</p>

<p>I didn’t only limit it to physical restraints. It would be rape if she didn’t consent to it, he didn’t pay, he threatened her, he physically tied her down/restrained her, or a combination of these things.</p>

<p>^ It would not be rape if he didn’t pay. That would be a breach of contract, yes, (in Nevada…). The other three criterion however are rape.</p>

<p>The title of this thread sounds like a rap song.</p>

<p>

Yeah, this. I’m still not sure why that RainbowSprinkles quote was directed at me.</p>

<p>^I’m sorry if you’re offended. That was just my opinion.</p>

<p>@BigKev, see my previous post on what not paying has to do with rape (my opinion, if you can’t find my post, is that if she consented to it and he didn’t pay, it would be like stealing. However, if she did not consent to it and also he did not pay, then it would be rape). Hope I’m clear.</p>

<p>NOTE TO HSLers</p>

<p>THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE</p>

<p>^ I lol’d IRL</p>

<p>

No, I’m not offended, just confused. You seem to be agreeing me in a disagreeing tone.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s my stance as well. Your last post was just worded really ambiguously.</p>

<p>^Oops, sorry then. haha</p>

<p>He’s a scammer!</p>

<p>guys some common sense, you’re basically saying a 100 bucks can change an event from rape into a service. It’s rape if and only if the woman never consented. If a woman is played into having sex (using a more fetched idea to make prostitute idea clearer) then she was played, but nonetheless she consented hence it’s not rape. Whether it’s theft or not is another story, since that depends on the law. Rape is about physical force, not about potential choice selection of the past.</p>

<p>“Violation is a synonym for rape” is an observational comment by Andrea Dworkin which is entirely evidenced in popular culture, such as in pornography and romance novels, which speak of how the man “violated” the woman in a moment of passion, for example. You might wish to actually study her work before putting forth quotes taken out of context. Neither she nor a colleague, Catharine MacKinnon ever wrote or said “all heterosexual sex is rape” or “all sex is rape” or “all men are rapists”, and for more on how this rumor got started (in Playboy magazine–surprise!), see here: [snopes.com:</a> Catherine MacKinnon ‘All Sex is Rape’ Quote](<a href=“http://www.snopes.com/quotes/mackinnon.asp]snopes.com:”>Catherine MacKinnon 'All Sex is Rape' Quote | Snopes.com)</p>

<p>Haha is it? He didn’t force her to do it (she was willing and had a choice).
Well, I think whether or not prostitution is legal in the place could be an influence.</p>

<p>i think that’s just called getting screwed !!</p>

<p>Generally, whether legal or illegal, prostitutes require payment up front. Therefore, any attempt at coercing sex without paying would be rape.</p>

<p>That’s clearly theft. It was consensual before and during the act. Consent cannot be revoked later on (otherwise women who want to take back unplanned pregnancies/STDs etc. could revoke their consent and call it rape as well).</p>
