[Ipse Dixit]

Not to minimize the crime of rape, but wasn't there a song back in the early 90s named (and sung by a woman)"When I say no, I mean maybe"?

[First Amendment]

The sexually charged atmosphere we got going nowadays - no need to go into all the ways, but fr'instance sexually explicit movies, music, clothes that only professional ladies used to wear now on 13 yr olds, etc - encourage this kind of "rape". Teenage girls are sex-educated into thinking that they should "put out" for any guy, and the guys expect it. There's a lot to be said for modesty in behavior and outlook. It used to protect girls - and boys.

[SarahW]

"NO" is "no". "No" is always "no". If they say "no" it means a thousand times "no." "No" plus "no", equals "no", all "no's" lead to "no","no","no."
