Neither one of you is right, neither one of you is wrong. It depends on the circumstances and there is no absolute answer. Finish-ee.

You know, before I came here I really thought the -ee thing was just a joke. I was rather amused to find that it was not. Laughing

Oh and yes, TGIF!

I'm surprised this thread got as far as it did without a mod shutting it down. Some of our comments were pretty close to personal attacks

I'm not. This place is moderated so sporadically, I wouldn't be surprised to find some really nasty stuff lurking in the corners. Wink

If a woman was saying 'no, no' but "moaning amorously" and caressing me while she said it, I'd think it meant 'yes' but I'd be afraid to continue. I'd feel stupid asking her to clarify, and it would ruin the moment, but better safe than sorry...

The thing is, if she's really actually saying 'no' but meaning 'yes', asking 'Er, do you want me to stop?' probably wouldn't get an honest answer, because if she was ok with saying what she meant she wouldn't have said 'no' and meant 'yes' in the first place. On the other hand, if she meant 'no' (even though for some reason her body language didn't match her words), then you have to stop. So I guess since you can't be sure, the guy has to stop...

Late entry

It's rape if she says it's rape and if a court of law backs it up. However there is a claer difference between beating a woman into rape and simply ignoring a mild request to stop. One should be heavily punished while the other might only deserve a slap on the wrist (and honestly should not be wasting the courts time).

I for one think a woman has the right to say no at any time and thus stop the act (however far one may be into it).

However, some women still say 'no' when they mean 'yes'.

So a smart man should stop no matter what so as to avoid any potential BS with the law (or hurting a woman's feelings) and a smart women should not use the word 'no' lightly and should respect men as people deserving of clear communication.

No it isn't, because half the rape cases are he said she said and we can bring out cases all day where women were found to have been lying (even after the guy was convicted).
That has got to be about the worst standard ever.

It's rape if she says it's rape? You don't know women very well do you?

Smart man? The frontal lobes have little to do with this. People keep getting their brains mixed up with their emotions (another part of the brain). Too many reasonable responses to an unreasonable dilemma.

Yes, No should mean No. And it does for more mature men, but frat parties and clubs muddle the brain. If anyone has a problem with a woman saying No, they should take a brake. Pun intended.

James bond is gross.

I forget what comic or whatever was telling some story about making out with this girl. She appeared to be into it, but then whenever he would get to handsy she would grab his hands and move them away. So they continued like that until she asked why he didn't want to have sex with her? He was confused, and said,"well, you were pushing me away so I assumed you didn't want to go that far" she said she thought it would be kinky if he forced her. He laughed and said " So, let me get this straight: you wanted me to hold you down and force you and for all I know rape a person on the off chance you might be into that sort of thing?" And he laughed some more and they no longer dated.

Point being, women are as potentially moronic about rape as anyone. And the women who do that are morally irresponsible. No is no, indicators of no are no, and you don't mess around with that. If you're into kinky stuff, there are safe words and whatever. There are certain desires we just don't indulge in because they are wrong. Encouraging someone else to risk raping another person is wrong.

I do, that's what courts, judges and lawyers are for.

Fine. But if she has an alterior motive such as vendetta, money etc., she may decide to press charges anyway. Maybe she set the man up for exactly that reason. This scenario has happened to male teachers plenty of times!!

Some poster already stated this, but I will reiterate said point. How could a judge and jury truly know what went on during the escapade in question. Unless there is sufficient physical evidence, I just don't buy it. Even physical evidence could be manufactured to further one's agenda.

A person can be falsely accused of lots of things. You wouldn't suggest theft no longer be a crime just because someone could be falsely accused of theft. No, because someone can steal something from you. But because you are not likely to be raped, you are prepared to take power away from people who have legitimate rape accusations. I have nothing but sympathy for anyone falsely accused of anything. I don't think the possibility of people being falsely accused (in and of itself a crime) justifies limiting a person's ability to make the accusation, or re-defining the crime.
