"ashamed that I didn't stop it" mnmoderatedem May 2024 #2

And she worked with Ron Jeremy, assumably. Marcuse May 2024 #9

I think she did... FarPoint May 2024 #12

Be careful. There's a difference between choosing to do things and being coerced. yardwork May 2024 #40

I get that mnmoderatedem May 2024 #64

And conversely, someone can choose to use sex to gain an advantage without being coerced. meadowlander May 2024 #105

She never actually GAVE consent. He just hopped on top of her, DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #117

Maybe. LuckyCharms May 2024 #3

Agree Johnny2X2X May 2024 #18

You are so right wryter2000 May 2024 #31

That's what I think after reading this too - TBF May 2024 #54

Her testimony makes my heart ache... FarPoint May 2024 #50

He's worse than filth. ShazzieB May 2024 #81

I have had a date rape incident that FalloutShelter May 2024 #5

That is certainly the way it sounds PatSeg May 2024 #8

It was a long time ago FalloutShelter May 2024 #17

I can understand the "indelible" part PatSeg May 2024 #26

Just once was I really scared. He was 21 and MOMFUDSKI May 2024 #37

Sixties for me as well PatSeg May 2024 #48

Trump even when young was always a big guy, & used his size to get his way... Hekate May 2024 #76

It's the kind of thing you cannot forget. MuseRider May 2024 #109

Yes, life goes on PatSeg May 2024 #111

In retrospect.... FarPoint May 2024 #16

I am sorry to hear that...horrible. Demsrule86 May 2024 #62

Is this how she described the circumstances before? PatSeg May 2024 #6

I remember her saying after she came out of the bathromm gab13by13 May 2024 #25

You know, that sounds like what I remember as well PatSeg May 2024 #30

It was 18 years ago. I wouldn't read much into an irrelevant detail like that unblock May 2024 #71

The spaces around "non/consensual" and "un/wanted" are large and always moving, which is why people are reluctant WhiskeyGrinder May 2024 #7

And unwanted penetration, no matter how slight, constitutes Jerry2144 May 2024 #11

Both legally and ethically, there is a difference between "unwanted" and "nonconsensual." WhiskeyGrinder May 2024 #22

Unwanted penetration isn't rape? There's a jury in NY that would like a word with you. OMGWTF May 2024 #52

As I said, it can be, but isn't always. WhiskeyGrinder May 2024 #59

Riiiiiight Hekate May 2024 #108

It happens. I provided an example in another post: WhiskeyGrinder May 2024 #112

But we are not talking about 2 people who are in a relationship, here.... DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #120

Daniels says she doesn't consider her experience as rape, so. WhiskeyGrinder May 2024 #122

Yeah, Donald Trump says the same thing.... DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #125

How exactly can 'unwanted penetration' be consensual ?? DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #119

As I say, I've provided an example elsewhere: WhiskeyGrinder May 2024 #123

Really? Personally I believe if a person doesn't give permission then it is rape. Demsrule86 May 2024 #58

People consent to penetrative sex that they don't necessarily want all the time, for a variety of reasons. WhiskeyGrinder May 2024 #63

Semantics. ShazzieB May 2024 #87

. WhiskeyGrinder May 2024 #90

Thanks for the clarification. ShazzieB May 2024 #91

Exactly. DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #121

Just as an example, meadowlander May 2024 #107

Sicker than we know I'll bet. n/t B.See May 2024 #28

My two cents - it sounds like maybe she was drugged, or drunk? FakeNoose May 2024 #74

She has already stated it was consensual. Nt Fiendish Thingy May 2024 #10

What she described isn't consensual Johnny2X2X May 2024 #19

I'll put that in "true, but...." category. Happy Hoosier May 2024 #20

It is so much worse if you have feelings for the man...what a betrayal. I was asaulted. But it Demsrule86 May 2024 #36

Oh my!!! I'm SOOOO sorry!!! Happy Hoosier May 2024 #55

It was rough. I made it through. I wouldn't leave the House withou my parents for a year. Demsrule86 May 2024 #60

I tend to agree, based on the limited knowledge that we have. LuckyCharms May 2024 #24

And Trump being Trump PatSeg May 2024 #34

He always assumes he will get what he wants. pandr32 May 2024 #43

And he probably assumes PatSeg May 2024 #93

Absolutely. pandr32 May 2024 #96

She was looking for a way out Johnny2X2X May 2024 #35

He may have drugged her. Demsrule86 May 2024 #29

It sounds like it MustLoveBeagles May 2024 #33

I have always thought he is a rapist...I believe his first wife descriped abuse and forced sex Demsrule86 May 2024 #39

I remember that MustLoveBeagles May 2024 #77

Does anybody still believe that trump will take the stand, in his defense ? republianmushroom May 2024 #38

Harvey Weinstein comes to mind Johnny2X2X May 2024 #49

She didn't want to have sex. Demobrat May 2024 #46

That happened to me as a teen Tree Lady May 2024 #65

Exactly. SunSeeker May 2024 #67

And The Apprentice was the back drop here Johnny2X2X May 2024 #70

Yup. "And if you're a star, they let you do it," i.e. you get away with it. nt SunSeeker May 2024 #73

was this what she said in court today? or is it from a book she wrote? orleans May 2024 #92

This is fucking bullshit DenaliDemocrat May 2024 #94
