[net.women] Poll on Rape

Let me first answer the questions and then add some other thots.

First, I believe anyone ALWAYS has the right to refuse intercourse,
although I will say that I personally would feel probably feel pretty
frustrated about the refusal in Case 3 unless there was some good
reason why (pregnant perhaps) or there had been a previous agreement
that there would be no intercourse.  In any case, although I can
understand such frustration, I still feel that there is no
justification for rape.  However, you can darn well bet that that
would be the last time I would see someone who pulled a stunt like
that on me.  I don't like to be teased in that manner, and if I
suspected that I was being teased like that only to have the rug
deliberately pulled out from under me, I would be extremely upset.

As far as sluts go, I do not automatically think of a woman who
sleeps with anyone she wants to as a slut.  Women who do so while
teasing and provoking, sometimes sleeping with people and sometimes
not, just for the fun of teasing and paining others, are sluts.

I think, though, that your questions, particularly the first, are
flawed.  What is "leading on?"  Your language is not precise enough,
I think...

Flames welcome; intelligent discussion is preferred.
