Rape is Rape

Rape is Rape no matter who the victim is and who the perp is.  Just like abuse is abuse no matter what.  

When it comes to abuse people question the wife/girlfriend who stays with the abuser without thinking what might be their options.  There are reasons they stay in that relationship and it is not for us to question.  If they are being abused then they are being abused no matter how long they stay there and take it.

The girl who is dressed provocative going down the road, she is not asking to be raped she is just dressing the way she has always dressed and that doesn't give anyone a reason to rape her.

When you are seeking help from a therapist because you are having issues in your life, you feel you aren't worth anything, you are on the verge of suicide because you feel nobody cares and your therapist starts coming on to you and gets you into a relationship this is still rape.  These people are asking for help and in one form the therapist is helping them or so they think.  They keep going back to them and trying to get the help from them as they feel they are the only ones that care.  The-rapist is still a rapist and not being a therapist.  

Nobody asks for this, nobody wants this, and just because they keep going back or still lives with them doesn't mean they deserve or want it.  Let's quit thinking that way and really look at the situations and call it what it is RAPE. The victim has been through enough and we need to help them.  

Here is another example of it in this article:
