@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" )
