Fantasies and rape are not on equal ground, not even close. In the role playing scenerio, the woman chooses the partner.
I am willing to bet that there is also a safe word she can use If she feels the partner is going to far. Those things don't happen in rape. The rape victims that I know didn't have a choice at all on who, when or where the rapist raped her. The rapist didn't even listen to them at all when they begged him not to and screamed NO.
Nice try to for the OP minimizing rape into women fantasize about it, so some rapes are legit! NOT. I wish he would do the right thing and self-delete the OP. We'll see how sensitive he is towards women being brutalized. We'll see if he has an Aha moment and realizes that OP's like this one are not even helpful in a serious discussion of rape. We'll see if is sensitive enough to realize that there are women on this board that have been raped and this type of title and OP are incredibly hurtful and painful. Because no rapist ever said that the woman agreed to being raped. Or we'll see if he is just another rape apologist and jerk. I suspect the latter, but I would like to be proven wrong.

The point of the term is that there's a tendency among many men to do that to women, often without

Its an observable phenomenon that is entirely unidirectional. Men do it to women. Frequently.

Sure it's subjective. But it's also based on observed phenomena, not just thin air.

I do not believe fantasy is an "aspect" of reality. Your premise is false. Fail.

Your premise, as stated by you, is that a sexual fantasy is an aspect of rape. Oxymoron.

The very element of fantasy means there is a high level of consensuality. Thats not rape.

It's still beyond me how presenting something is "taking a piss" on something NT

No it isn't. The point is, some women(many) have sexual fantasies that involve rape....

No it is a post that states something related to rape that has evidence to back it up
