Reply #2: Next will be "but consensual statutory rape doesn't fit this either"

Some doesn't. Once while drunk as a young adult, I was raped by another drunk. I tried to say no but couldn't stand up. He figured that as long as I was lying down, hey, why not have sex?

I see him as not respecting me enough to take my wishes into any consideration. Yes, he was drunk and not thinking straight, but still. And no, I didn't report it because as a young drunk college student, I must've been asking for it.

Seeking power and control can be very overt, as in violent rapes, involving, for example, a knife or gun and including physical injuries. Hey, look what I can do to this person! She/he can't say no to me because I am All Powerful.

It can also be more subtle, in having YOUR desire outweigh the other person, as in what happened to me.

As far as consensual statutory rape/sex between a 15 yr old and 17 yr old, it depends and doesn't always fit this outline either.
