ESSAY ON: Rape Or Not?

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines rape as "sexual intercourse with a woman by a man without her consent and chiefly by force or deception." When applying this definition to a situation where a woman wants to have intercourse, then tells her date to stop but does not resist him physically, the student will want to recognize the fact that her verbal plea does not correlate with her physical messages. That she does not push him off after he enters her, and yet she feels "used" after the fact, speaks to the issue of perceived meaning. Does she have the right to feel used? Has she been raped? Is her date a rapist or merely the victim of mixed communication? Is the women a tease and if so, what defines being a tease? And perhaps more importantly, if a women teases a man and he forces her to have intercourse, is he any less of a rapist? Bibliography lists 3 sources.
