Helen Mirren - Rape Isn't Always CriminalThis will raise some eyebrows. Helen Mirren says she's been the victim of date-rape before, but if a woman says no at the last second, don't go whining your way into court. CNN.com got a copy of a GQ story that's about to be published, in which Mirren calls date-rape a "tricky area," something best worked out between the parties. Mirren says if a couple is heavy into sexual activity and the woman says "no" at the last second, technically it's rape, but, "I don't think she can have that man into court under those circumstances. I guess it is one of the subtle parts of the men/women relationship that has to be negotiated and worked out between them." http://www.tmz.com/2008/09/01/helen-mirren-rape-isnt-always-criminal/ In case you don't know who she is, Helen Mirren is a 63 years old British Actress, who recently received rave reviews for portraying Queen Elizabeth II in the Movie The Queen. She's also recognized for her outspokeness on women's rights. Question - Given that She was once a victim of rape, do you think she is right in her assertion that RAPE ISN'T ALWAYS CRIMINAL? |

LMAO! Yeparipa! You have killed me with laugh. I don't think it is that she enjoyed it, she is just saying sometimes rape victims aren't completely innocent. I think she just accepts that she had some fault in the whole thing. |

Rape under whatever disguise or condition is criminal and should be treated as such.

Rape is ALWAYS criminal. But doesn't mean a person will get convicted for it.

Its not rape if it aint criminal, coz rape is forced sex, even if she changes her mind at th last minute, after turning him on and he forces her way in its still criminal!

In a way, she is calling for women to be more assertive about what they went.
Yes, No, Yes, No, Maybe, I, don't know What is that for?
If you know you are not ready for sex, be firm right from jump. Don't lead the guy on and when you are one clothing away from being nekkid, you say no, then cry foul when he doesn't stop.

If a woman agrees to sex and midstream she decides she doesn't want it anymore and the man refuses to withdraw his bulala, in my books it's not rape. What does she expect ? Is the man an inanimate object? It's rape when it's forced from the get go,but if she says no and he pleads and she agrees and while he's in she decides she doesn't want it anymore, let her deal with it. That's the prize of fornication  She should just give him a couple of seconds and the whole thing will be over. Next time she should know not to go with a man willingly into a room with the door locked, onto a bed with the intent of sex. |

So how will the burden of proof be on him? Hehehe, you don't wanna know oh. Save yourself, I'm already a lost cause.Awww, you are going back to school soon? Does this mean you'll even be scarcer around here?  |

The word NO in itself is not should not be used to judge a rape situation in some cases. It's sad how many men have their names on the sex offender's list because of situations like this and once someone's name is there, there is not erasing it.
And guys should also know the kind girls they are dealing with. Not everyone who comes batting their eyelashes at you is inviting you to come sex 'em up.

Nigerians girls usually say No when they actually mean "beg me alittle harder, I don't want to appear cheap" |
