     See, this is what I mean here. "Rape" is being stretched so thin as to become meaningless; the point is completely self-trivializing. No doubt there are at least some people that would echo the sentiment expressed there, but are they truly doing it because they really feel like biden is being "raped", or are they doing it because they've been conditioned that "rape" is a magic word that gets you what you want? When you place the value of rhetoric over the value of truth, this is where you wind up, ridiculous, asinine, and self-defeating statements ripe for mockery and a laughably easy knock-down.

     @doctorsex This is a great point.
     
     Words change meanings, this is life. Sometimes it is due to the result of a scientific finding, say for rape we were to find out that a struggle session is mentally the same as a physical rape and the word changes because of this.
     
     What is happening here, and a lot in the 20th century, is the intentional muddying and stretching of terms for political power. You are basically taking stored power of communication in language and breaking it down for immediate political use.
     
     This example is great because this is closer to pleading than rape, the real core of rape is forceful taking without concern for the wellbeing of what is there ( vis: "raping the land" )

     @dogslurp for them, someone asking to have sex repeatedly until they give in is rape.

     @dogslurp the real answer to this is "if you can't manage this, you may need to be accompanied by a male relative in public"

     @doctorsex @sickburnbro Sorta.
     Rape is woman speak for something they don't want to want to do.
     
     I remember someone made an argument that forcing someone to think of something was mental rape.
     
     You're right though, the term is now meaningless to the outside observer.

     That's one way to put it, yes. That is a lot of what I'm opposing here. There's a massive gulf, at least in my estimation, between language growing/changing/evolving vs the abuse of rhetoric or other charged language to cultivate what gets communicated and how. I think anyone who looks at this as a good strategy where the validity and "good-ness" of it is only determined by "who? Whom?" Is exceptionally short sighted. I want nothing to do with people who don't value truth.
