“It is pointless to say he should have beat her up because he didn’t HAVE to “beat her up.” What exactly stopped him from sliding out from under her, getting out of bed, sitting in a chair and telling this chick to chill out for a few minutes? Did she have a gun?”

He was knocked out and heavily under the influence of alcohol, you tell me how your capacities are when you think you can’t drive because you’ll have an accident and that it’s worth spending money to pass the night away from home – perhaps he was drunk enough, don’t you think? My capacities when drunk are diminished very very low compared to normal, if you take into account that your coordination went out the window with your sense of balance.

“Is someone trying to suggest this guy was that desirable that she HAD to have him or else she would go apesh!t? A woman’s sexuality does not work that way, unless she was jacked on E or whatever.”

How would YOU know that. Are you a woman, do you know all women. Are you an authority on women’s sexuality? Women can be just as pervy as men, and just as interested in sex as men. That you’ve not met one, or asked them about it (or they didn’t feel like telling you if it was the case – which is more likely considering your attitude) doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

I’ve not met any people affected of dwarfism, but they exist, I’ve seen pictures, I’ve seen them on TV, I read about them. I don’t say ‘they don’t exist’ because I haven’t met one personally. And there’s plenty of mediatic evidence, if you know where to look, that women can like sex as much as men.

Plus as an aside, rape is about power, not about sex. It’s violence committed against another party who has not consented or is unable to consent for a reason or another. Not about desiring your victim. You can find your victim super ugly and rape her anyways, maybe even because of it.

““She apparently brought me to an erection.” Well apparently he liked it. it just seems less than believable.”

Read what dozens of people have said here: erections are not voluntary or signifying arousal necessarily. They can happen in your sleep while you dream about your dead grandma, or how you almost drowned in your childhood.

“As to the fear part if he DIDN’T have intercourse with her that she would yell rape? Rape cannot be proven with evidence of forcefull entry OR without evidence of DNA. DNA. Hers and his.”

It’s easy to prove her case if he ever comes, or had comed. Wether he liked it or not, he’ll be presumed guilty. How would he know if he ejaculated during his sleep when she first mounted him?

“He could have done any number of things besides “just going along with it.” Either way it simply does not sound like forced rape.”

Rape was forced in this case imo. But rape in itself does not need to be ‘forced physically’ to become valid. It’s an unconsenting act, it’s rape, period.
