It isn’t rape if he is handsome

October 19, 2007 by elenamary

I am tired of hearing “He is a [insert adjective--handsome, wealthy] man, he could have any woman he wants.  It makes you wonder why someone would accuse them of rape.”  MSNBC just had someone on saying that about David Copperfield.  We heard the same thing about Kobe Bryant.  I believe innocent until proven guilty but what I do not believe is that a man is less like to be a rapist based on his attractiveness to women.  Rape isn’t about haveing sex with someone you are attracted to, it is about power.

Get with it mainstream media.

    Uhh, why can’t I get raped by a fine as hell, bomb diggity dayum, female? I mean, I walk through the park at night right. She can exert all the power she wants, I’ll just lie there all tied up and resist. Oh wait, only men can be rapists in this world. Stupid me.

    and here’s another thought to throw into the mix: Just cuz she’s your wife or girlfriend doesn’t mean its not rape.
