The reason you're all arguing about the rape scene.


...is because it is a completely unrealistic, ridiculous scene. Rape victims do not start to enjoy the rape halfway through. That's why you're confused, because it's bulls#*t. And all the stuff she did that supposedly instigated the rape (whether you argue that she wanted to be taken by force or that she 'deserved' it) is also bulls#*t. That whole scene(s) was thought up by a man, written by a man, directed by a man and so on, and so of course she deserved it and wanted it, because everybody knows all men have magical d*cks, and if we women would just roll over and take it, we'd all be much better off and not be such up-tight b*tches.

No, not all men think that way, and yes, this is just a movie, but there are plenty of stupid, ignorant people out there who see something on TV or in a movie and take it as gospel. And this scene perpetuates this myth that 'no' means 'yes, but I just don't want to admit it, so I'm saying no.' Which is bulls#*t.

Leapgirl, the woman who was "raped" WANTED to have sex with the Stranger. So sorry your SJW triggering mechanism prevented you from getting it.
