Why do relationships have to be so complicated?

“hey i find you attractive and you have a good personality. do you want to hang out sometime?”

“Rape is only really rape if it involves force. So says the new House Republican...”
– And, yes, this is going on.
Let’s outline, one more time, the reasons why requiring “force” as a part of legally defined rape is a bad idea, hey? Because there are many. And let’s skip right past the part where many rapes would no longer be defined as such (I’m… really not sure how you redefine...
