That was RAPE people

He was seduced, not raped. BIG difference and I should know. I actually was raped.

"Nothing is more ill bred than trying to steal the affections of someone else's dog."

Yeah, 3 on 1 qualifies it as gang rape too!

The word "rape" really gets thrown around way too easily these days (And don't worry, I completely understand and appreciate the intention of your post). Rape is when a person is forced to engage in sex against their will, or without consent (such as if someone was unconcious,etc).

"Rape" should NOT be used to describe many of the acts that it currently does.

A 16/17 year old male and 15 year old female become bf and gf, and have sex frequently throughout their relationship. They date until the bf is over 18 and his gf is now 16. The gf's parents get upset with the bf for some reason and file a police report against him for having sex with their daughter. He is charged with statutory rape and is now a registered sex offender. His life is ruined because he is convicted of "rape", when in reality, it was nothing of the sort.

Then there's the possible B.S. Rape situation that can happen if you hook up with a chick who is somewhat drunk, even while you are also drunk. I'm talking about when she is still functional and not significantly more plastered than you. Women can claim that because they were drinking and intoxicated, that they couldn't actually give consent for sex, so it was rape. Even if you were more intoxicated than them, a guy could never get away with a claim like that. It's really just them doing something they regret due to bad judgment, not an inability to consent to something. If a poor sexual choice is excusable, and blamable, due to alcohol, then why doesn't the same logic apply to the myriad of other poor decisions people make while under the influence? "Oh, sorry for driving officer, but I am completely WASTED, so this isn't really my fault. I didn't really know what I was doing."

Ha, good luck with that one. You're better off making a run for it to some off-road area, ditching the car (and maybe torching it), and booking it on foot to safety.

They were not three mature women… they were teenagers too. It's been said before, Penny Lane was 16, why would the other girls be "mature women"? And why is them having sex with someone the same age as them (William) rape, but the fact that the members of the band who actually ARE adult men, aren't raping them, since they're underage?

That's weird that you only picked up on William being underaged. They are all underaged.

Too right bro.Three guys would not have the strength to hold a lady down EH?

Imagine if you will be gently pushed down onto a bed. Imagine that despite protests [only verbal] that you feel this to be inappropriate and then imagine this attractive one of three alternately WORSHIPING your FLACCID penis with their mouths. Then pick up the phone and call 911. Today of course you will have been catching it all on your tablet sized mobile phone to share and reenact in lonely moments. Now if they should beat the crap out of you and shove kindling wood up your whatsits that is something else.

Young masterbatory male fantasy comes true. So what even if they were 21? they will mostly still be petite in that world. Three overweight ageing and unattractive I will give you might be rapists in a sense. But the protest here would be more than verbal.

If you are calling this scene rape then what is your feeling about rape when it involves beating someone senseless and when KO'd making your entrance? Hardly want a trial then?

I do not know how often two drunks incapable of consent can have sex.If men are accused of having brewers droop too often by the partner who can an absolute out of it drunk do the deed. UNLESS? he has been drinking less to ensure an easy opening opportunity. I am sure MANY girls [and boys] wake up in the morning in a strange place and look over and feel, 'did I really hump that POS'. Both go their own way cos knocking up a Katherine Heigl type when you are a Seth Rogan type is a bit like the Christmas Miracle.

Seduction is a thing and money and status is seductive. Rape is a serious crime.

Technically yes, it was rape. But let's be honest - we all know if William had complained and said 'no', the girls would have settled down and said 'weird, but ok' and they would have left him alone. If it were three dudes trying to deflower an underage girl, and the girl said 'no' she would have probably been forcibly raped despite her objections. We all know this and that's what makes this scene sweet instead of scary.

Men, in general, are sexual predators. Most men are able to manage their sexual urges and desires but unfortunately too many men can't. It's tragic and an embarrassment to men who can't and a scourge upon women. I'm a man and I have to live with this - it sucks.

Men generally have the advantage of knowing that in a sexual situation they have the upper hand physically speaking, so they're usually relaxed in any sexual encounter. Whereas women have to worry that if their desires/expectations don't coincide with their male partner's, there could be physical consequences.

I hate that this exists :(

Subjectively: any guy, including myself, would have liked to be in his place, even though I thought it disturbing at the time.

Objectively: it was wrong, they exploited a 15 year old boy. Despite the tone of the scene and the era the movie depicted, they took advantage of a teenager and took away something from him that could never be returned. Don't know about the legal ramifications of such an act but I'm pretty sure it would constitute statutory rape. Perhaps they did it with his full consent, but he was still a minor and they were not.


"If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid."

Any 15 year old boy, even a scrawny one like William, could EASILY overpower 3 girls if he didnt want to get "raped".

And I dont think any of the girls outside on the Anna Paquin character, was supposed to be portrayed as a teenager. Faruiza Balk's character looked to be about 30. And the red head was probably somewhere between 21-25.

Either way its not rape.
