Movies portray a rape as something that is violent and the perpetrator sees it as controlling the other person. What if that is not the only way to view a rape. Mind you there are rapes like that. What if the rape is not violent at all.
There is the rape of a young man by someone who lets them believe that they are in love. Taking advantage. Making the man feel that they are a grown-up. That it is what is supposed to happen. There is date rape by someone who convinces someone else that it is what they want to even if the other person says they do not want to have sex. Rape comes in many different forms.
In my book I look at date rape. When a woman or man says no and the other person never allows them to say anything or says that it is what they want. I consider it rape. What do you consider it?
