if saying no is not a safe and comfortable option, it isn’t really an option. coercion = rape.

Both scenarios require a decision to be made from the woman. Both scenarios are morally questionable. Neither is rape.
I agree that it’s morally wrong. I disagree that it’s rape even if some laws in some places call it rape. A woman has a choice and a voice. She can practice using both.

You really should stick to your tantrum in your post where every other reply is “ my post, f**k off”. Like a two year old with a potty mouth.

IMO it’s only an unsafe option if the woman’s health and safety is threatened. Or her family’s safety is threatened. A job being threatened isn’t a big enough threat to not say no.

So back to the topic at hand you clearly think rape that occurs through blackmail is perfectly fine, since the woman could have said "NO" and wasn't physically forced with say a gun pointed at her.

Sorry bacon but after your little tantrum and starting shit with me today I can’t talk about a serious subject with you because I don’t take you seriously. Your opinion and thoughts on my posts have no value. You are only good for a laugh and entertaining drama.

A serious subject that you dismiss at a whim because Blackmail makes rape okay in your eyes. You know you could just ignore me.....wait...we've tried that before. LOL

You are doing a bang up job ignoring me in your post. But that post is in the fight club. This is news and politics. I’ll give you attention there but not here.
