guys, is this really true?

"Apparently on Big Brother Africa, contestant Richard Bezuidenhout, who's a 24-year-old, married Tanzanian film student, used his finger to penetrate his female housemate, 29-year-old Nigerian medical assistant Ofunneka Molokwu, who was apparently passed out drunk. In South Africa, and many other parts of the world, this is considered RAPE"

Is this part really true?, if so this is news to me..... i thought rape was like, penetrating a woman with your penis.

ANYTHING that violates a woman against her own personal consent, in a sexual manner is rape.

Rape is not about sex, but rather violence, control, and humiliation, and if a woman considers fingers on her vagina rape, then it's rape.

don't be a dick lib
she was passed out.
unconscious
unable to give her consent.

end of frickin story

Thats not the part i'm asking about...i'm saying fingering a girl unconcious being deemed rape.

and i am telling you it was rape because she was unconscious

got it?

Penetration is the key.

yes.

I wonder if there is an international standard for what is rape

I know that statutory rape ages change from country to country. But the act of "rape" as in nonconsensual acts, I would hope, is pretty much agreed on. I would hope.

Well...i've learned something new today.

against her will/without her consent or knowledge...pretty cut and dry...

Perhaps a more in depth legal defination is in order. From Black's:

: unlawful sexual activity and usu. sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will usu. of a female or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception (see also statutory rape)
Note: The common-law crime of rape involved a man having carnal knowledge of a woman not his wife through force and against her will, and required at least slight penetration of the penis into the vagina. While some states maintain essentially this definition of rape, most have broadened its scope esp. in terms of the sex of the persons and the nature of the acts involved. Marital status is usu. irrelevant. Moreover, the crime is codified under various names, including first degree sexual assault sexual battery unlawful sexual intercourse, and first degree sexual abuse.

yes yes a thousand times yes. it is rape.

evenstar said:

So when you hear about women being raped with inanimate objects, they're wrong? They weren't raped?

JustErin said:

exactly.



I find it ridiculous anybody would go the whole Attorney General nominee "water-boarding" route with this issue.




spelling edit

Also, this could be the best post in the history of the org.

I'd say that touching a person anywhere they wouldn't want to be touched when they're unable to stop you is assault. Call it rape or something else, it's wrong.

you know it's just begging to be made a signature

i'm not discussing the fact that it's wrong

Dewrede said:

but trying to downplay it as assault or something means it may not be viewed as seriously. he should have rape charges brought against him, imo.

wow
