If you muddy the definition of rape to be so broad, it uses its utility as a concept and a term. That would do more to hurt victims of sexual assault and sexism

If you muddy the definition of rape to be so broad, it uses its utility as a concept and a term. That would do more to hurt victims of sexual assault and sexism in general than it helps.
- AnimalMuppet 9y agouses -> loses At least, I presume that's what you mean...
- peterwwillis 9y agoI'm not muddying anything. Come up with a specific definition and I can show you an example where it doesn't work. This is why the law doesn't use the word! Instead there are laws against specific kinds of behavior that could be said to be rape, but use different terminology and apply in different ways. It's counter-productuve to cling to this one word to describe complex situations just because of the emotional weight and general ambiguity that the word carries.
