<<And rape is not sex.>> bill, you elaborate in your post citing date-rape, incest et al... you mix metaphors, you even (but i can forgive you anything) refer to assault with a friendly weapon. rape is not only not sex, it is an act of violence, as you say. but it is more than taht: and there is, i fear, danger in allowing anything friendly here at all. the act of penetration, an actual rape, be it sodomy or a frontal assault is devoid of anything resembling consensual intercourse. it may often be devoid of genital/genital contact. it is no more than an act of Rage. there are no degrees, no subtle shadings, no point at which it transforms into anything...More or Less than taht. simply, it is a Violation. to ascribe to it any nuances strips its negative power...i think this beyond semantics.
