    What's the upside to rape and sexual assault?

    You learn what you should be doing when you watch tape.

    EDIT: You're quicker than me, dammit!

    How old were they, 15?

    Brushing past each other in the office and sitting with our legs touching under the table at after-work gatherings where no one knew we were together was the most exciting time in our early relationship

    I think the question is: Is it ever OK for a superior to try to court an subordinate at work?

    You beat me to it. @MisterCreosote isn't being fair to the author (or the point she was exploring).

    I'd like to know what he finds objectionable about her piece and I've asked him, but he has just responded with passive-aggressive posts about what a creepy misogynist I am.

    Four out of the five participants actually *enjoy* gang rape.

    Not all situations are the same. The flirtee's receptiveness to the actions is literally the foundation of what makes it right or wrong.

    My wife is receptive to sexual relations with me. Therefore, why is it rape if I fuck a co-worker who isn't?

    But it's impossible to know that with certainty until you actually make the advance. Receptiveness only follows the advance.

    That's not what she's talking about. She's talking about her initial receptiveness to his advances, before he knew that she would be receptive.
