rape culture

This is based on this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014468335

OK, I know this will sound horrible, but I am flabbergasted. While many agreed with a comment, I had people tell me I was wrong for calling this rape.

I am sorry, but has out definition of rape been so diluted that when a mother forcibly impregnates someone, we split hairs over whether that was rape, or whether she deserves more than f years in the clink?

Legally, probably not. It looked like some people in the thread might have been working from the moral definition, and others from the legal.

FWIW I agree with you.
