Would you consider this rape?

1 Answer

Answer :

There’s always how I wish I would have reacted in a theoretical situation and the uncertainty of how I actually would have reacted. I would have liked to say to the group, “Don’t you consider that rape and if not, why not?” but I wonder if I would have. It sure seems like a discussion worth having but in the context of that setting and perhaps when we were less aware, I might not have said anything.
