Agreed. I was just saying that when I was growing up and you said someone was "raped", it meant that you were forced against your will.
Then there was "statutory rape" which meant that anyone under a certain age didn't have the right to consent to sex.
The first example was the one I was referring to when I said that psychiatrist's have always labeled "rape" as a crime of violence as opposed to sex.
If Cosby slipped girls knockout drugs and then fucked them while they were passed out...it's not an act of violence like the classic "rape" definition was.
It's purely sexual and some kind of fetish. Most likely the "control" thing you're speaking of.
And yes, drugging a person without their knowledge and fucking them while they are out is definitely a form of "rape" and if Cosby did that he should have went to jail.
Which is the fucked up part...because if any of these women had went to the police and had a rape test done...then none of this would be discussed now.
Cosby would have already been in prison 30 years ago.
