Also, I have no "anxieties" about anal sex; to me, though, rape would seem to include anal penetration, whether by a penis or other object. Why your hangups about penises?
I'm not, but we both have the right to our opinion.
In this case, I think the punishment doesn't fit the crime and that we should be really careful to lump together rapists with drunk teenagers who engage in sexual misconduct, especially when the nature of the events couldn't be objectively established and in the total absence of signs of violence.
A rush to drag people to the gallows never helped any society.
This is fascinating. First, I'd like to know what it was you actually read about the case, given that what I read from multiple sources certainly showed more than "he said/she said".

Secondly, so if a group of drunken teenagers has sex with someone who is also too drunk to give consent, that's what? Youthful hijinks?

Vagina/mouth around penis? Rape. Hand? Gross sexual imposition.

Bullshit. You said that including finger penetration of the vagina within the definition of "rape" was something Iran would do, not a Western democracy.
I stand by that. With the new loose definition applied, you no longer have a word that specifically distinguishes forcible coitus from other forms of sexual assault with penetration. Since sexual intercourse comes with an added layer of possible aggravating consequences (such as unwanted pregnancy or VDs), I find this wilful confusion unhelpful and self-serving.

Why would you expect "signs of violence" if the victim was incapacitated? This seems like a clear-cut case of taking advantage of a victim who was "blotto", as opposed to the alarmists who see drunken rape on the Big Bang Theory.

And weren't you arguing not so long ago that 'the system works' with regards to rape convictions, and nobody gets convicted based on finger-pointing? ;)
Sign of violence would make it a clear-cut case. But I agree, her being "blotto" would also make no difference. However, in my opinion, the handjob issue and other conflicting statements cast doubts on the alleged incapacitation, as well.

The other time, I was arguing that the figures suggest a ratio of reports to convictions comparable to that of any other violent crime, therefore it couldn't be said that finger-pointing was normally sufficient to convict, as some MRAs claimed.
Wow, more data. So an sms bragging about a handjob is "proof" but similar digital images showing her to be unconcious is not. As is the eyewitness testimony about fingers in the vagina, which after all, isn't bad. it's just hijinks.

actually, you kind of did. Penetration with a penis is rape, with fingers is "just" sexual assault. that and the whole "drunken teenagers" bit.

why the downgrade?

Mostly caught up, from ~15 pages back. Going back before the Knife Disagreement to the law just passed by the senate in North Dakota:

1) It hasn't yet been signed into law by the governor. He should be receiving it on Monday.

2) It bans abortion after the heartbeat is detected, without specifying (as far as I can tell) the # of weeks, nor whether or not an ultrasound has to be done to determine whether the heartbeat is detectable. Some are interpreting it to mean an ultrasound must be done if abortion is being considered. That adds further delay.

The heartbeat would become visible by ultrasound sometimes during the 4th week after fertilization, during the 6th week after last menses.

2) Dating is most commonly (by tradition) from the last menstrual period (LMP), which is called the "gestational age", but especially when referring to organ development can sometimes be from fertilization, so it's important to clarify which. See, for example, the top of this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestational_age

3) Re timing of heartbeat: from this Wikipedia entry, which doesn't appear to have been edited by PZ's radfem army yet (bolding added, here, by me):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_d ... ent#Week_6
Week 6

Gestational age: 5 weeks and 0 days until 5 weeks and 6 days old. 36–42 days from last menstruation.

Embryonic age: Week nr [sic] 4. 3 weeks old. 22–28 days from fertilization
..[sic]

The embryo measures 4 mm (1/8 inch) in length and begins to curve into a C shape.
The heart bulges, further develops, and begins to beat in a regular rhythm. Septum primum appears.[6]
Branchial arches, grooves which will form structures of the face and neck, form.
The neural tube closes.
The ears begin to form as otic pits.
Arm buds and a tail are visible.
Pulmonary primordium, the first traits of the lung appear.[6]
Hepatic plate, the first traits of the liver appear.[6]
Buccopharyngeal membrane ruptures. This is the future mouth.[6]
Cystic diverticulum, which will become the gallbladder, and dorsal pancreatic bud, which will become the pancreas appear.[6]
Urorectal septum begins to form. Thus, the rectal and urinary passageways become separated.[6]
Anterior and posterior horns differentiate in the spinal cord [6]
Spleen appears.[6]
Ureteric buds appear.[6]
Of course, a heartbeat first being detectable doesn't mean something magic has happened compared with the day before, when it wasn't detectable. It's all part of the steady progression in embryonic development; what's visible is the rhythmic contraction of a group of cells, a tube at that point, that developed into myocytes, with a subgroup that developed into a pacemaker region & coordinates the cellular contractions.

And, of course, as ultrasounds get better, rhythmic cellular contraction might be detectable earlier & earlier.

So forcible anal/vaginal fisting, or penetration with a large object like a baseball bat, even though such thing can cause unrepairable damage is not rape?

Speaking of women and gaming, I hadn't heard that Pac-Man was designed to appeal to girls:

http://www.edge-online.com/news/gdc-201 ... m-pac-man/
In fact Iwatani was guided by female tastes – literally – throughout the early stages. “Girls like to eat – like my wife likes to eat a lot,” he said. “And this gave me the idea of Pac-Man eating the whole time.” The enemy ghosts, too, were made cute “because girls like that.”
"Girls like to eat" :D What would Sarkeesian make of this?

Look, I'm stuck to pre-2012 jargon, it appears. But it still seems more precise than conflating fingers with penises and deadly weapons.
In 2012, the FBI changed their definition from "The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will." to "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."

I think that could be described as "aggravated sexual battery". A higher level of punishment from say, one finger/no permanent damage.

Just playing devil's advocate here.

Thanks for the answers. I have a bit of a stupid question. Sorry.

Can a boy/man be made to penetrate a vagina with his finger or object other than his penis and HE be one being raped? Is this stil nonconsensual penetration?

Ophie hates dogs and wants them dead! Just kidding.

She actually has a post up that, though not exactly literature, actually has human/animal interest, a narrative, and even a hint of self-deprecation (and no block-quotes). Amazing. If she and other FTBers blogged like this more often, it wouldn't be such a worthless and boring shit-fuck of a network.

A long time ago, well, not that long ago, the definition of "rape" in this country required the woman be a virgin. Other things that could keep you from being "raped": You were single and living alone (TROLLOP), you were known to have male friends (WHORE), you consumed alcohol (SLUUUT).

I think you'd have to be a raging, RAGING asshole to not agree that evolving the definition of Rape past idiocy like that was a good thing. Up until 2011, in this country, as far as the FBI was concerned, men could not be raped. DIdn't exist. We sensibly expanded the definition of Rape to allow for men being the victim.

on and on.

Fingers, as I just showed, can in fact, be used to do rather a lot of damage to various orifices. So yeah. Unwanted penetration even with a lowly finger is also rape. I fail to see how this is controversial.

So tell me again how this is the wrong thing to do.

Why the fuck does there need to be physical damage to make unwanted penetration rape? Rape goes far beyond the physical aspects of sexual activities.

I bet dollars to cents that most people would prefer to be punched in the face during a street robbery, over arriving home and finding that burglars have been through their underwear drawers.

Pretty much. I think Decius's opening post had a grain of truth -- sex offender registries are unique in criminal law. My understanding is that they were originally designed/justified because pedophilia is considered a disease and recidivism is very high. Many states/localities have easily-accessed online maps so you can see which sex-offenders live near you, and in some places things like public urination can get you on a list (this has been reformed in some places). And many places forbid sex offenders from living within x-distance of a school, playground, etc., which means you might never be able to legally live in a densely populated area again.

So maybe there's a debate to be had about this stuff, but the guilty verdict in this case seems pretty uncontroversial to me.

Rape is a legal definition, and whether that definition is moral or not, I would recommend sticking to it, because accusing someone of being a rapist when they have not met the legal definition is likely to be libel.

The other complication is, of course, the legal definition varies from place to place. In the UK, the legal definition of rape is penetration by penis. It can be into any part of the victim's body - vagina, anus, mouth, and anything else you care to think of (please don't) - but it must be a penis that does the penetrating to be rape. It has the curious side effect that in the UK pretty much only males (+ pre operative transexual women, + hermaphrodites, to keep the QUILTBAGs happy) can actually commit rape. In the UK, other illegal/nonconsensual sexual acts get rounded up under sexual assault.

Of course, that is just the UK. Ohio will have different rules again. I would recommend sticking to the legal definitions as per the locality of the conviction to be safe. I have no idea what that is in this case as I haven't looked it up...

I would add, just because it isn't called rape doesn't mean it isn't bad. If I bash someone's brains in with a baseball bat, it isn't rape, doesn't mean it isn't bad. But accusing that individual of rape is likely to be considered libelous, so I think it is worth treading at least a little carefully.

In Florida the exact name of the crime you describe is "sexual battery". The statute does not use the word "rape" except in reference to "rape crisis centers"

The registries are a different case altogether and have little to do with the legal definition of rape

No disagreement on the first paragraph, but I would definitely pick someone going through my underwear drawers over getting punched in the face or even over a nonviolent street robbery.

Ok, it's the convict's choice as to chemical or physical castration:
However, in lieu of treatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), the court may order the defendant to undergo physical castration upon written motion by the defendant providing the defendant’s intelligent, knowing, and voluntary consent to physical castration as an alternative penalty.

One thing I'm mildly annoyed about in this case is the euphoria over these convictions. These are teenagers being sentenced to prison. This is no cause for celebration.

Two, my thought is that these guys could have done anything they wanted to this girl. They did not engage (as far as I can tell) in vaginal intercourse. My thought as to why is that they considered that rape and what they actually did as not rape. There really isn't any education course on rape, so they are left to their own imaginations. That's why I agree with the general lines that education about rape for young men is a good thing. It''s also why I am disappointed with orgasmic joy over their convictions and incarceration.

Two, my thought is that these guys could have done anything they wanted to this girl. They did not engage (as far as I can tell) in vaginal intercourse. My thought as to why is that they considered that rape and what they actually did as not rape. There really isn't any education course on rape, so they are left to their own imaginations. That's why I agree with the general lines that education about rape for young men is a good thing. It''s also why I am disappointed with orgasmic joy over their convictions and incarceration.
Good lard, some sense at last.

I think everyone should be made to try a week or so of incarceration in their formative years. People have no fucking clue about what it entails and how horrific it is.

If I were a dick I'd say something like, "mothers, you've failed your sons".

(note that I am taking my queue from something that was on facebook about bad fathering being the reason why facebookers were making odd comments over some celebrity woman going back to her abusive celebrity husband)

Wowbagger, Designated Snarker

March 17, 2013 at 3:49 pm (UTC -7)

Ah, but for the Slymepit the simple appearance of a phrase here at B&W means you said it, Ophelia – and now they’ve got a couple more examples they can use to ‘demonstrate’ your ‘use’ of it.

Dishonest scumbags? Why, yes, that’s exactly what they are.
Nobody has claimed that Ophelia herself has said it. I have merely demonstrated that Bjarte Foshaug was, erm, mistaken when he suggested that the expression 'sister punisher' was a Slymepit invention. If anyone falls under the definition of 'dishonest scumbag' it would be 'die-in-a-fire' Wowbagger. I am giving Bjarte the benefit of the doubt; he is perhaps just too stupid to check his facts. But 'die-in-a-fire' Wowbagger is a lying propagandist, like so many of his ilk (Anthony K, Ichthyic, 'T is Himself/Ulysses, etc.).

The amusing aspect, and one they can't hide because it is a necessary part of their act, is the sanctimonious tone they always adopt; they remind me of televangelists and similar professional hypocrites. Their motivation is different, of course. They're not in it for the money. Somehow they must have convinced themselves that being a dishonest, hypocritical scumbag makes them a better person. They are 'lying for Jesus' for a differerent cause.

A commenter has finally pointed out the obvious and Ophelia Benson reacts as stung by a hornet.

So what? So Melody used it here once; so what? I’m not Melody.

I don’t call people “chill girl” or “gender traitor” either. Get another fucking script.

You’re not “Dennis Greatbatch,” either, are you. You’re the same troll, aren’t you, reading from the same stupid stale moth-eaten script.
So, 'sister punisher', 'chill girl' and 'gender traitor' are now frowned upon, otherwise, why the vehement denial? Are these memes following the 'rotten porcupines' into retirement? Did they finally become too embarrassing for the sanctimonious hypocrites at FTBs?

By definition it can't be as it is a social theory not a scientific theory. Something Oolon fails to grasp on his last post at Nugent's ('Id mentioned this much earlier, he either does not read or ignores people's posts)

I can't be bothered to point that out to him though as he's been told this many times. Oolon is a prime example of the Caterpillar quoted in my signature. A waste of time but as he always switches to Ad Hominem is was worth the effort so people could see the sort of person he is.

I think this is the same thing as when religious conservatives try to be comedians.

Because you haven't been able to look at the world with a properly critical eye, your comedy ends up shit. Comedy is based on observation. You can't observe things if your eyes are always closed.

Given your avatar, it seems this basket of puppies might be more appropriate than the more common basket of pussies. If it seems too cute for the 'Pit, you may assume they are dead puppies.

Agreed. You’ve probably seen or heard of the documentary Scared Straight:
… a group of inmates known as the "lifers" berate, scream at, and terrify the young offenders in an attempt to "scare them straight" (hence the film's title) so that those teenagers will avoid prison life.

Really? So what exactly, when inserted into a vagina without the latter's owner's consent, would be "rape"? Just a penis? Ridiculous.

And what about the anus? That not rape in your opinion?

Damn those Western democracies, and their Iranian-like definitions of rape. Before you know it they'll be putting people onto a register for life just for raping some girl.
I'm with penis-hat on this one. That is rape.

BUT I don't agree with sex offender registries. They're fucking stupid.

However, as it turns out, those programs were not much more effective, if at all, than doing nothing. Fear is not great as a long term motivator

Never implied that.
actually, you kind of did. Penetration with a penis is rape, with fingers is "just" sexual assault. that and the whole "drunken teenagers" bit.

why the downgrade?
Although I agree that penetration with a finger is rape, unauthorised digital clitoral stimulation would be "just" sexual assault IMHO. Doesn't mean it's not serious, but we don't base our definitions on whether we consider the thing 'bad' (otherwise everything would be 'rape' and we could be headline bloggers at FtB).

Nope, but I did 11 days in the gaol of a Banana republic in the Caribbean on suspicion of "illegal immigration", waiting for the bloody Italian consul (from another Banana republic) to show up with some documents.
In truth, I was just island-hopping, but the Venezuelan travel agency, where I had booked that particular flight, didn't inform me that a return ticket was mandatory to enter that country.
All prior to the internet age, of course.

Unsurprisingly, I was left with a few indelible memories, not least going without food the whole time. The other inmates were kind. When they didn't murder each other, that is.

I've been on several blogs (Yahoo, HuffPo to name two) concerning this topic and what I find consistently are comments such as: "I hope these two boys get raped in prison. HaHa". These comments always get several "thumbs up". I don't understand this mentality. My first response is: So you condone rape then? Which generally sets off a shit-storm, including biblical verses. The message I'm hearing is: Rape women bad, rape men good. We live in a sick society folks.

Erik:
Hello pit, I know you read every word here and are currently discussing whether rape must involve a penis and vagina or not, but are any of you nitwits going to seriously try arguing that there isn’t a part of western culture that turns a blind eye to rape after something like this? Really? That’s rape culture!
Discussing: it' actually a good thing.

Well fuck you too. I'm going to treat all of you as a homogeneous mass as well. Here's a comment from grumpyoldfart written shortly after yours:
The black boy came up with plenty of sobbing noises but no tears. It’s a problem actors always have – how to produce tears on cue.
All FfTB commenters are racist!

Yep. When I used to waste my time on Slashdot there were very frequent jokes about Federal Pound Me In The Ass Prisons, and I ALWAYS used to ask the people making such comments whether they found rape funny, anal or vaginal. Often the response was a braying jeer back at me for being too sensitive. Of course this was Slashdot, so it was peopled by the likes of colon and Anthony K, but the responses spoke volumes.
