I just heard this term used in a new essay by Rose McGowan, the actress known for her awards show dresses like the one below. Asked what she thought of cameras panning her body on the red carpet to show off her dress, she compared it to "visual rape", saying the Hollywood "machine" and its inane reporters are responsible for this treatment. It seems that wearing designer dresses at red carpet events can attract a lot of unwanted attention for actresses. She's certainly not the first to regard such looks as a form of rape.
Do you think this is true and that being looked at or photographed the wrong way is comparable to being raped? Why or why not?
Is visual rape a real thing?

Rape is defined as forced penetration
#Bullshit
Yet it doesn't count if a woman forcibly envelopes her vagina onto a man? Tch...
@Words_and_Wisdom When did I say that that wouldn't count as rape?
>dresses like that
>gets offended when people look
>is stare rape real
no
Obviously she's never been the victim of sexual assault.
If we accept that that is the case than it is also rape anytime somebody is photographed without their consent.
Apparently though, Rose McGowan was actually physically raped as well.
no... Looking at someone in a malicious and lewd way is a sexual harrasmant or assult
Not rape
Not real
What a load of Bullshit XD Of course not, rape is rape... that is a photo of something she chose to wear! If she didn't want people to see her wearing it... WHY WEAR IT?
You don't own public eyes. It's not even up for discussion honestly.
it's bullshit
So this is the latest man hating pile of crap the feminazis have started.
anybody who says yes to this question is metally ill.. im sorry
It's an insult to girls that are actually raped.
Not possible.
Plus when you dress like that you can't said those things...
