ORIGINAL: tazzygirl I have many thoughts on this. 1 - you arent the only one who has been raped. Please, dont speak for the rest of us. 2 - having also been attacked, there is a difference, but its not as big as you want to make it out to be 3 - rape is rape... the kind here is the forcing of a woman to take something into her vaginal cavity that she doesnt want there. the kind you describe is a violent act by someone intent on hurting you. do you also call date rape "not real rape"? 4 - rape can come in many, many forms.. it can be the violent, stranger kind. it can be the date who pushes and pressures you into it.. it could be the husband who demands else you and your kids may pay with his anger and sullenness for weeks. To limit your discussion to only the violent one is a bit disingenuous as well. Now, having said that, I dont believe the transvaginal ultrasound is that invasive. I do believe I should be able to choose what method of ultrasound I wish to obtain. If I dont want something shoved into my body, be it by a stranger, someone I know, or by the state, than I shouldnt have to have that done to me. In that way, it is rape. Exactly this and more, Each rape is different,the variables are enormous, and expectations that every rape "victim" feels the same is pointless not to mention, harmful. millions of women hate having pap smears, internal procedures done, without having been a victim or rape, some who have issues for years after they have been raped, and they consented to having it done, ...for MEDICAL reasons. not morally forced ones touted via right wing fundies
