Nonconsensual sex: How colleges rebranded rape

[Bernardo de La Paz]

59. Be smart & explain yourself. If it doesn't involve a sexual aspect, then it's battery, not rape.

I'm not "conflating sex with rape." Not all rape involves "sex", per se, for example an overtly sexual act of the order of penis in vagina, but there has to be a sexual aspect such as penetration with an object or an attempt.

If there is a threat of violence against a person, that is the crime of assault. If there is actual violence against a person, that is the crime of battery. Battery with a sexual aspect is rape.

But not all non-consensual sexual crimes involve rape. Many do not. For example making pornographic photos of a drugged person non-consensually is a non-consensual sex crime. I mentioned that and other examples in another post in this thread.

Language and communication being what they are, we often for brevity say "non-consensual sex" when we mean "non-consensual activity with a sexual aspect that rises to the level of crime" because the context is clear.

Now if you still feel that a person is "woefully misinformed and woefully entrenched", then please explain your thesis and how it differs rather than directing us to a book that in practical terms we are very unlikely to read, through no fault of the book or fault in our wish to be informed, though we certainly are aware of it from the time it came out onward.

I doubt I am "woefully misinformed" though of course that is conceivable, but in any case I would rather be proven wrong in whatever aspect and magnitude than remain "misinformed". So, your turn. You can inform us.
