Yeah, because it's not like there's a difference between penetration WITH consent and penetration WITHOUT consent. Dang, sluts, don't you know that once you have sex you can never say no again?
Reminded me of the Egyptian 'virginity tests':
http://forcechange.com/16377/condemn-egyptian-virginity-tests-on-female-protestors/
One military general admitted that the examinations of the women’s hymens had taken place. He also made this repulsive remark in defense of the military’s actions: ‘These girls who were detained were not like your daughter or mine… These were girls who had camped out in tents with male protesters in Tahrir Square and we found… molotov cocktails and [drugs].’ This implies that some women (who do not meet a strict standard for sexual innocence) are less entitled to privacy than others.
He also claimed the tests were necessary because ‘we didn’t want them to say we had sexually assaulted or raped them, so we wanted to prove they weren’t virgins in the first place.’ This implies that only virgins can be raped. It is also ironic that the Egyptian military felt it was necessary to assault these women in an attempt to prove that the women were not assaulted.
‘I know that to violate a woman in that way is considered rape. I felt like I had been raped,’ said Ibrahim. Another female victim named Salwa Hosseini told Amnesty International that she and the other women were forced into a strip-search by a female guard while male soldiers observed from afar and took pictures.
