5 Feet of Fury

Jim Goad on the ‘penis-in-vagina = rape’ thing

These are the same sort of reality-inverters who insist that rape has nothing to do with sex, that it’s purely an act of power. This doesn’t consider the possibility that in the course of human events, sex and procreation and power are intertwined rather than discrete entities. It also fails to explain the surfeit of literal penises, vaginas, and occasional makeshift vaginas that always seem to be intimately involved with acts of rape. As usual, the marching morons of social justice have it all backwards. Obviously not all—nor anywhere remotely near most—acts of sexual intercourse constitute rape, but rape always involves a sexual element. Sex is not always about rape, but rape is always about sex.
