I was hoping this had been bumped for some meaningful input. Hell, I'll give it a go. For those of you who say you know you were raped, but you never indicated you did not consent, you were not incapacitated, etc., how do you call that rape? What happened so that you call it that? I'm genuinely trying to understand, I'm not trying to attack anyone. If the other person has reason to believe you consented (due to prior experiences together, due to your participation, due to WHATEVER), and you didn't withdraw consent in any way, how is that rape? As in the person who is woken up by sex, your consent stands until you withdraw it... how is that rape in any way if you don't withdraw consent? Knowing in your head that you didn't want it isn't enough. Well, not the way I understand it, anyway. If anyone needs a definition of rape, here is a good page that discusses the evolution of the legal definition of rape: http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Rape Cali
