      In some jurisdictions, what happened does not count as rape. Some places rape is defined as forced vaginal penetrative sex. If the vagina is attached to the person forcing, it’s not rape, it’s sexual assault.

      In a sane metric, she absolutely raped that boy. This is a hold over from the old way of thinking that that boy was really lucky to get that attention from her, and all his pals and the entire justice system is jealous.

      Unfortunately, these words don’t carry as much weight when people say the law is what determines whether or not someone was raped.

      If this exact same thing occurred in a jurisdiction that allows it, would you all still be saying he couldn’t give consent? Those jurisdictions exist, you know.

      Maybe you people shouldn’t use the law as a panacea only when it supports your case.

          Then you agree the law is not a reliable indicator of consent?

        Dude gets mad everytime someone points out he is defending rape. Can’t complain to the mods of the community because he’s the only one. We should contact the admins so that something can get done.

          Then start a better comm?? You guys need to lose this reddit mentality of running to Mom and Dad for everything. This is the fediverse, if something is bad or you don’t like something, make it better, make your own. Even if this guy is my worst enemy, this is not how I want things handled. Leave the heavy handed moderation to literally EVERY SINGLE other social media platform.

        So if this was a male teacher and a female student you’d be acting the same.
