Rape is only one kind of sexual assault. It’s not just one term being more “provocative” than the other.

- darby_nine 2y agoI don't see what benefit the distinction brings. The meaning is inherently identical to the meaning of sexual assault. The fact there's a legal distinction is irrelevant to the meaning of the words themselves. I'm not referring to a legal concept when I use the word "rape" and the legal definition—for polities that even have one—is irrelevant.
