When Does Unwanted Sex Become Rape?
After a long Saturday of drinking, a female student was hanging out with a male classmate she’d been flirting with for years. He was charming but also a player. They’d talked about his various sexual conquests, and she didn’t want to be one. But that night they started making out. It was exciting, she said, fun. When he grabbed a condom, though, she realized she didn’t want to have sex. But she kept quiet, flashed him an occasional fake smile, and stared at the ceiling waiting for it to be over.
