Did you contact the police? If not why not? ChosenUnWisely Jan 2015 #15
It was ages ago. sibelian Jan 2015 #32
So anyone who does not call the police right away is not a true rape victim? Nye Bevan Jan 2015 #36

You are not saying that filing charges is vindictive, are you? Jamastiene Feb 2015 #67
I should have said "falsely file charges". Nye Bevan Feb 2015 #69

Kudos to you for injecting some nuance into the subject. randome Jan 2015 #26

OK, that is kind of what I thought. sibelian Jan 2015 #47
imo, yes. Lars39 Jan 2015 #30
Well I feel bad now because I'm not 100% sure in my mind that was the word he actually used sibelian Jan 2015 #48
The fact that he remembers and you don't is the red flag for me. Lars39 Jan 2015 #49
Hm. sibelian Jan 2015 #53
As with many things, anecdotal evidence proves nothing. MineralMan Jan 2015 #35
The OP was not presenting "evidence", but asking the community a question. Nye Bevan Jan 2015 #40
It was an anecdote. MineralMan Jan 2015 #44
Yes, it was an "anecdote", as many posts are. Nye Bevan Jan 2015 #46
I think the point of the OP is to point out that there is no "absolute" in this. madinmaryland Jan 2015 #64
Sounds like a very interesting night for all concerned.... Rowdyboy Jan 2015 #38
I think the point is that those who claim that "all drunk sex is rape" are going too far. Nye Bevan Jan 2015 #39
Well how did you feel about it? Rex Jan 2015 #45
TBH I just felt like he was ribbing me. sibelian Jan 2015 #51
I agree there is nothing automatic about it, but the next day might lead you to Rex Jan 2015 #57
