| Unacknowledged RAPE Most agree that Rape is considered a violent, physical act, not necessarily sexual, characterized by one of the two parties being non-consentual. �No means no,� but what about those cases when verbal or physical objection isn�t possible? There are rape drugs illegally available that make the victim black out, or in some cases, experience uncontrollable paralysis. What about legal drugs? How many men have bought drinks for another with the hopeful intention of getting laid? Whether or not the acceptor of the drinks acknowledges these hidden intentions is irrelevant, that person is not obligated to �payback� the benefactor of beverages. Anytime a person is not sober, it is not O.K. to have sex. It is well known that alcohol and other drugs lower inhibitions and clouds decision making. Some people even �black out� from substance abuse. No, having sex with an intoxicated person is not necessarily rape. Buying substances for another to abuse, knowing the probable results, is preparatory for unacknowledged rape. It is rape if the buyer�s intention is to get them wasted in order to make sexual relations possible. The best way to identify these silent rapists is to hear their stories of conquest. There are only two kinds of people who tell these stories, those who make them up, and those who acquire them through immoral, indecent, and thoroughly repulsive ways. Anytime you run into these people, the only recourse is to ignore and avoid them. In cases of the latter, they are lucky that they are still alive. So all gentlemen out there, it�s O.K. to buy a lady a drink, it is not descent to defile her while she is under any influence. Ladies, it is never O.K. to go anywhere, or do anything with someone you just met and know nothing about, especially not with guys who hang out in bars. return to table of contents |
