I thought you would say this. First, I have read the article. Second, spouse rape is different: a) If reported, it will always be reported, that the victim was the spouse. Therefore people adjust their mental picture and have a correct grasp of what happened. This is very important. b) In spouse rape, again, the sex will happen against the will of the victim (usually using force and in broken relationships). This is very different from failure to use a condom.
So why is it so important for you to call it rape? Just describe what happened, and don't lead your readers astray!
- tptacek 14y agoBecause in both Sweden and the UK, the offense we are discussing has a name, and the name is "rape".
- thro936287Waway 14y agoWrong. I already explained that the press always reports the context (e.g. spouse rape), but you ignored this. I have particularly observed this in a case that received a lot of publicity last year in Germany.
