Is rape EVER justified if he/she was "asking for it"?

Keeping with the rape theme of my last question, I really want to know what people think on this subject as well. As you'll likely see (if you were on my last question) there was a gent who claimed being fucked while unconscious was "fake" and if you put yourself in said situation, clearly, it isn't rape.

Won't state my opinion there, just providing you context. It inspired this current question.

So, it got me to thinking: is there EVER a situation where someone is very literally just "asking for it?"

The first story that came to mind was an old news story I read some years ago I believe, where a woman's shower wasn't working in her apartment, so she told her landlord/neighbour. This guy said she could use his shower, but ONLY if she agreed to shower with him. She agreed, and apparently he raped her during this encounter. I'll try to find the story to include in the updates.

I remember hearing this story and very literally asking myself whether this was actually rape, because the story didn't add up. To me, I would assume agreeing to shower with someone, naked, in their house, would have a sexual connotation to it. However, seeing as the definition of rape has clear lines that state if you say no, and someone continues, it's still rape.

Before anyone loses their shit: I don't think rape is justifiable. I do believe there are obvious situations where you can avoid danger, but it doesn't make it okay for anyone to rape you. This is just for discussion's sake.

  • Yes justified.

  • Rape can never be justified. If it is with consent then it is not rape.
