>I thought rape by definition was an unwanted sexual advance. Perhaps you can point me to the statutory revision that changed that. I was under the understanding that walking into a hotel room, dropping your pants and asking the young lady (that you had a state trooper bring to the hotel room) to kiss it was by definition an unwanted sexual advance. Of course, not even the jerks who went on a witch hunt after him proved that that happened. I was talking about Lewinsky, whom so many people, including DR, said was raped. -Z

I thought rape by definition was an unwanted sexual advance. Perhaps you can point me to the statutory revision that changed that. I was under the understanding that walking into a hotel room, dropping your pants and asking the young lady (that you had a state trooper bring to the hotel room) to kiss it was by definition an unwanted sexual advance. Generally the only people who feel as you do are called sexual predators. I thought that pinning a recently widowed volunteer in an office hallway and fondling her was by definition an unwanted sexual advance. You might share your definitions of what an unwanted sexual advance is if these do not qualify. You might be a rape defense dream jurist. I assume you're referring to the woman from San Diego......the one that did a boxing round with Tanya Harding. From what I understand, she now is claiming the GOP put her up to making those accusations. You see.........when you get in the gutter with certain people you can't trust what they will say in the future. Its too bad you all had to smear one of the best presidents this country had in the 20th century. ted

I thought rape by definition was an unwanted sexual advance. It is. I was under the understanding that walking into a hotel room, dropping your pants and asking the young lady (that you had a state trooper bring to the hotel room) to kiss it was by definition an unwanted sexual advance. It's not. I thought that pinning a recently widowed volunteer in an office hallway and fondling her was by definition an unwanted sexual advance. It's not. You might share your definitions of what an unwanted sexual advance is if these do not qualify. An unwanted sexual advance is when the recipient of the advance don't want it. And it happens ALL THE TIME, and is a natural result of requesting something from other people. Good looking people know what I'm talking about.....

I thought rape by definition was an unwanted sexual advance. Rape is "an unwanted sexual advance", but not all unwanted sexual advances are rape. You have lesser degrees (which might be called something like "sexual battery", or "taking indecent liberties with a minor" or other things depending on the state your in and the particular circumstnaces. Then you have sexual harrasment. Clinton was formerly accused of sexual harrasment ("walking into a hotel room, dropping your pants and asking the young lady (that you had a state trooper bring to the hotel room) to kiss it"). He was also accused (but not charged, or even had an offical complaint made to any authority) of what could be called "sexual battery" ("pinning a recently widowed volunteer in an office hallway and fondling her").
