Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines rape as "sexual intercourse with a woman by a man without her consent and chiefly by force or deception." When applying this definition to a situation where a woman wants to have intercourse, then tells her date to stop but does not resist him physically, the student will want to recognize the fact that her verbal plea does not correlate with her physical messages. That she does not push him off after he enters her, and yet she feels "used" after the fact, speaks to the issue of perceived meaning. Does she have the right to feel used? Has she been raped? Is her date a rapist or merely the victim of mixed communication? Is the women a tease and if so, what defines being a tease? And perhaps more importantly, if a women teases a man and he forces her to have intercourse, is he any less of a rapist? Bibliography lists 3 sources.

already allowed the progression of sexual relations to occur, the man is supposed to yield to her protest. However, there is also much discrepancy between what a woman says
and how she backs it up with her physical actions. Since rape is defined as going against a womans will, does it truly apply to a situation where the
woman verbally resists yet willingly continues pursuing the act by way of physical participation? Indeed, what must be understood is that while the woman puts up a verbal fight,
she may only be doing so to appear as though she were resisting, when in truth she wants to engage in sexual relations just as much as the man does.
To some women, the very application of verbal resistance absolves them - at least in their own minds - of any responsibility of wrongdoing, inasmuch as sex to some
