Who's to Blame? What Are the Limits for 'Calling Rape'?

I mean, I know if it's a case of 'abduction' that there's no question who the guilty one is ... But what if 'the victim' starts it by 'turning the guy on'? And how much does it take to prove that the man was just exhibiting a natural reaction (rather than -willfully intending to harm her)? that he wasn't just acting-on-the-signals-she-sent, but was fully planning to make her regret remaining a woman.

"Signals she sent" or "natural reaction" mean absolutely NOTHING. Humans possess self-control. NO means NO, bottom line, end of story. Victim blaming is ALWAYS wrong.

You are either the most dedicated troll ever or one of the dumbest people I have ever encountered.

What does homosexuality have to do with it? I'm not following your thinking here.

So, homosexuality IS A CHOICE, yes? (not the one I'm making ) Those who say 'it's a natural thing' are hanging-up their human-status, yes?

I agree with everyone else here on this one. If the word no is ever said..male party needs to stop. I'm sure it's not easy to do so sometimes, but that doesn't mean that it's ok to have ones way after the almighty No has been versed.

It's pretty simple. Once one party says "no", it's no. Period.

What if the 'no' comes after (and is followed by ) sequences of 'yes'?

But what if you lay there, but decide you're not really that tired; would you be able to sue the bed-manufacturers for wrongful ... something?

I know of a man who went to jail for this very reason. The lady was a pro at working the system and making money by doing so - he just didn't know it. She would turn the guy on and then just before he was really ready - she'd "change her mind" and then cry rape. Then she would settle for money. The judge even told the guy that if he hadn't pled guilty he would have walked because the judge knew the girl...sad really.

I don't think so - I think he was being honest since she told him to stop and he was "too far into it" to stop after she'd led him on..

NO MEANS NO. There is no excuse for rape. That's all.

When one lets go of the ball, it is flung. If she yells "duck" too late, and it hits someone in the head, she is still the guilty one, yes? I'm not asking if rape is ever right; I KNOW it is NOT ... EVER! I'm just asking, at what point has she thrown the no-option away?

And if he impregnates her, why isn't he rewarded for being an obedient beast?

NO means No whether the woman leads the man on or not when she says stop or no that means the man should stop. If the man continues to do it he is violating her right of free will and that is rape her no should be respected.

Okay the whole no means no applies. Also my thoughts is that self control is a factor. I understand while the moment is all hot and heated but exactly when does he understand that even if she said no in the middle it gave him a pass to continue. Actually it works both ways too, if you play with fire you will burn. So both have some responsibility, but the bottom line is that it is not a life threatening situation, so if she or he says no one has to STOP. Now if we are dealing with a pro who later has remorse it is quite unfortunate, maybe perhaps not slipping under the covers with just about anyone is perhaps the wisests idea. But we are not talking about brains here are we? lol

if a girl voluntarily seduce a man, i really think she won't say stop or no, not at all, a girl will only seduced a man at will when she also likes to get it done... sometimes, a woman can be very careless and do things that unintentionally makes a man arouse and get hot towards her, so the best thing to do is to ensure that this girl really wants him or not, misinterpretation of a womans act can be very deceiving. so when a woman says stop, respect her, believe her, or else this man can be guilty of raping her
