Thread: A Different Rape Topic (About the Rapists)

Actually.. the example you just gave was the reason I stopped watching that show. A person deliberately getting someone drunk for sex, that is someone who is a rapist when the person would not do so while in control. Andrew Luster is a classic example of someone who is justly serving time the rest of his life, thank goodness for doing just that. A guy being with a woman, one gets drunk and then has sex, but then feels guilty when the other person says I am not really like that... or some such to the effect that it was a big mistake andor so on is what I was meaning. Not understanding all of the situation is what I am meaning. That scene in that episode is, what I feel, part of the reason Charlie Sheen left the series the way he did. He knows when that is not cool, and was wanting out long before his meltdown, but I digress. Getting it is knowing that you would be depriving someone of choice, and doing that in any way, to anyone, at any time, is rape and the person taking it away is a rapist. That is the key though, as they have to understand that they deprived the other person of choice. It doesn't matter if the no, stop, I don't want this, or whatever comes at any time before or during, if it is blatantly understood, it is rape. Buyer's remorse after the fact and again, this is not popular to say does not make it rape. A real rapist KNOWS that they have crossed a line, doesn't care, and doesn't think that they should have to pay any consequences at all. A very good example of one of the few Hollywood movies that gets that reality dead on, for a really good example, is the 1978 tv movie Are You in the House Alone?. The stalkerrapist, Phil wonderfully and chillingly portrayed by a young Dennis Quaid is the template of all true rapists. They don't all leave creepy letters in lockers.. they don't always pick the same certain person or type or whatever though most do, they don't all have to be rich.. but they all are people who have the same qualities of that Dissociative Personality Disorder that is quantified as being a Sociopath they believe the rules don't apply to them. No only means no when I decide that, not himher. That mentality is classically in the statement Phil makes to his own girlfriend, saying that because of who he is, and who his family is, he doesn't answer to anyone about anything. That is a rapist a charismatic deviant who doesn't believe that they have done anything wrong because they wanted it and that was all that mattered. They don't have to be as attractive as Phi or the female equivalent, or be rich or popular or have a family friend who is a judge. They just have to believe that they don't answer to anyone when it comes to getting off, and at least one family member or close loved one who continues to argue for them that heshe is too insert quality to be a rapist... Andrew Luster is the classic example, as he used GHB after trolling clubs for his targets. In fact, the argument could be made it almost was like Phil from the movie came to life, but that is beside the point. He had women who would sleep with him willingly, but he didn't see willingness as the requirement. ALL RAPISTS BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW. They may not take lives, nor destroy property, and they may not even rape more than once... but that is a real rapist.
