this is insane. what is going on? tl;dr: law to say that a man removing a condom during sex without consent is rape

1) it should be considered a different crime. there are a million different classifications for murder/manslaughter/wrongful death, why not for sexual crimes? it dilutes the definition

2) why only for this specific act? does this law only apply to men? should lying about being on birth control be rape? should neglecting to disclose STDs? just seems strange

the optics on this are just really, really bad.

not sure if stuff is common, it just showed up on one of my feeds

1. It absolutely should be rape. Consent is the key to all sexual encounters and you have to consent to the type of sex as well. If you tell him "no anal" and he sticks it in your ass, that's still very much rape.

2. It absolutely should be rape the other way around, too. Unfortunately the stigma against men saying they were raped is still prevalent in our society.

I'll admit to something of a bias here. My ex-girlfriend was a victim of a man taking his condom during sex and got her pregnant at 16. Dude's now a cop, too.
