CeeLo Green has deleted his Twitter account after sharing his controversial rules on rape.
The singer who recently pleaded no contest to charges that he gave a woman ecstasy without her consent in 2012 appeared to be saying that it is only rape if the woman is conscious.
If someone is passed out theyre not even WITH you consciously, he said, adding, People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!
When someone brakes on a home there is broken glass where is your plausible proof that anyone was raped, he continued.
The woman had claimed that she had woken up next to Green not knowing what had happened, but due to insufficient evidence no rape charges were filed. Greens lawyer said they had consensual relations.

Pathetic.

(49,212 posts)The majority of rapes are committed by somebody the victim knows: a partner, a friend, a family member. The whole point of casting doubt on rapes that don't result in dramatic crime scene photos is to create an environment where the vast majority of rape is consequence-free.
Somebody please keep this thread for the next time some genius tries to argue that rape culture is a thing feminists made up because we're overly dramatic.

Rappers, Athletes, or Waspy TV show hosts, their fame far exceeds their shame.
We're toast.

(12,608 posts)sex with her it's not rape? Wonder how many females he made unconscious and raped them? Watch your drinks ladies around this creep, he'll drug you. And he likes when his victims are unconscious cause they can't prove it.

(27,985 posts)It's disgusting. He's apologized for his "comments being taken so far out of context".
The ultimate "Sorry, not sorry" bullshit.

(12,608 posts)Then he needs to explain what he meant.He meant what he said. He just doesn't like the backlash from it

(65,342 posts)if she is unconscious or significantly impaired by drugs or alcohol. Therefore, her unconscious state would automatically mean having sex with her would be rape.
Is he still one of the stars on that reality show for singers? If so, he'd better get dropped, and pronto, with no weaseling around about it.

(82,849 posts)It's only murder if the victim is conscious? Otherwise, the victim couldn't possibly have known he was being killed. Is that what you're saying?

(9,796 posts)Quite apart from being ridiculous, his comment doesn't even make sense. It would suggest that if a rapist manages to knock his victim unconscious, he hasn't raped her.

(25,348 posts)I truly can't believe that a human being (like that) could be 100 percent...not 99.99999...but 100 percent untrustworthy.
A woman couldn't even faint around this "thing" without possibly being raped. Just blows my mind...
