I just can’t fathom how a woman can overpower a man in that manner. Even if a woman is physically stronger than the man. If a man really doesn’t want to, how could she even make him erect by force, let alone force it inside her?
I feel like I’m too ignorant on the subject. So please, anyone, enlighten me.
p.s. Statutory rape I do see how that would happen.
Number 3 in many states is legally not rape. In many states rape is legally defined as someone inserting a penis into a vagina. As fucked as that is, often people suggesting changes to the laws to make them more accurate to reality, end up getting vilified as some sort of apologist or predator themselves.
UK too https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/rape
A person (A) commits an offence if—
(a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,
(b) B does not consent to the penetration, and
© A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
So I guess Mark was not raped.
This answer is from Kagi’s search summary: I don’t know how accurate it may or may not be:
As of 2024, the specific U.S. states that only define rape as requiring penis insertion are:
- Alabama
- Florida
- Idaho
- Kansas
- Louisiana
- Mississippi
- North Carolina
- Oklahoma
- South Carolina
- Texas
These states have not updated their legal definitions of rape to include other forms of sexual penetration or oral sex, which can lead to underreporting and inadequate prosecution of sexual assault cases. It is important to note that federal law and many other states have broader definitions of rape that encompass various forms of non-consensual sexual contact.
