you're right. trapping a man into providing for a woman and her child for life is nothing like rape.
I mean rape is a singular incident that causes lifelong repercussions that takes years if not a lifetime to manage. it can financially ruin you. it can steal away your freedom of choice and destroy opportunities you otherwise could have taken.
🤔 that sounds awfully similar now that I'm thinking about it.
just FYI, condoms break.
It could be like some kind of psychological rape if you think about it.
Do you feel clever using words to compare physical abuse and taking away other person bodys sovereignty to financially harming other?
Both are bad and cruel things, but they are not compearable.
Condoms can break and parachutes can fail, but jumping from the plane without parachute is just moronic.
Not being clever. it's the same thing.
you're just victim blaming because you refuse to acknowledge that forcing anyone to do something through sex should be considered rape.
Did you learn fancy new word to use?
Im not victim blaming anybody, nor am i saying baby trapping is in any way acceptable, but it definedly is not a rape. And those two crimes are definedly not in any way compareable.
Your definition would also turn custody disputes in to rape cases.
that's quite the amount of confidence for being wrong.

by your definition, having sex while intoxicated would not be rape because consent isn't required. you allowed this by proposing consent is not a requirement to force a man to impregnate a woman.
by your definition rape itself doesn't exist.
Haha. You are really a grade A mental gymnist. Bravo. Here have a star *. You deserve it.
I havent said single time anything about how i might or might not define a rape. You on the other hand wanted to broaden the definiton to include baby trapping, a completelly different offence that should be its own thing.
