Is it normal that i think rape is no big deal?
Let me preface this by saying I am a male, who fantasies about rape, but would not ever carry out such an act for fear of both a guilty conscience and getting busted.
That said, I'm trying to understand why people, especially women, act like being forced to have sex is so horrible?
Granted, I understand it's not fair, and you are taking away their choice, their consent, and violating their body and their rights, I understand that.
I am not trying to make light of the subject of rape or suggest that it can't scar you emotionally.
With that said... unless you absorbed a lot of physical violence (which isn't the type of rape I'm talking about) GET OVER IT.
Rape is such a taboo subject, you almost never see it in movies or on TV, especially not graphic rape, and when you do it's very brief. But on the other hand movie makers have no problem shows people brutally murdered.
I think society make too big of a deal on rape. In the USA being convicted of one count of rape you can serve up to 25 years with the average being 6 years? On top of that you will be forced to register as a sex offender and have Class A felony on your record. Can anybody sincerely tell me that's not an overtly harsh penalty for penetrating a woman's vagina who is unwilling?
