  • Define rape, because according to U. S. law a man having sex with a women who has consumed any alcohol is a rapist (completely ignoring consent or his levele of inebriation). I think that it could be rape but I also think that if the roles where reversed it would be rape which as far as I know, no governing body acknowledges. Further why would a man rape his wife? I would find it scetchy if a women would accuse her husband of rape. Further is it really exceptable for a woman to live in her husbands house, use her husbands money and expect him to protect her if their is even the remotest possiblity of danger, and still withhold sex (as far as I can tell this is the only way this could happen) to the point the husband who has provided her all of these things and with whome she has trusted enough to sign a legal and social contract with? It seems shady, but then it all depend on the situation I guess.

    • Why does he have to be the breadwinner? Maybe he's not doing so well with finding a job and she's the only one who's working. It doesn't matter why she's withholding sex, still doesn't give him the right to put his hands on her. You and your reasoning sounds shady.

    • The norm is that the man is the bread winner it has been for the duration of humanities existence and despite what people say is vast majority of the time true even now. My statement that she is withholding sex was to illustrate that obviously their is more to the situation then a man just one day up and descides to throw law, societal norms/taboos, and morality to the wind to rape a women that he would seem to care about since he married her and that she was just a perfectly innocent and unsuspecting victim. It seems rather shady. Women who cry rape are always believed in our society, men accused of rape are always viewed as guilty regardless of facts. It would seem more like someone exploiting this scenario to their advantage than a rape however that is not to suggest it is not possible which is why I stated that it is entirely dependent of the circumstances.

    • Her withholding sex does add more to the story but it doesn't make his actions any less excusable.

  • It's still rape, and should be treated as any rape case. A wife is a life partner to share life experiences with and spend the rest of a mans life with... a wife isn't a sex object.

  • having sex with anyone who fails to give consent or expresses their desire to not participate by saying no or using any other form of rejection to any sexual act is rape. There is no loop holes to what can be a lesser charge. Rape is rape and should be punishable by life in prison and not the silly 8 to 12 years or 6 to 12 years that currently is put in terms of justice.

  • I am deeply concerned about those who voted B.

  • Rape is rape.

    Getting married is mostly about sharing your lives together; not about the woman becoming a sex toy on demand or him getting to decide what she does. People can say no whenever and to whoever they want and the other person just has to deal with it.

  • nobody has any right 2 rape somebody else 8)

  • Rape = sex without consent.

    "I will always give you consent, and therefore you never need to ask for sex, because consent goes without saying" is not part of the wedding vows.
