Regarding this rape issue: Let's say for the sake of argument that the female body is resistant to fertilization when in a state of trauma. What does this say about statutory rape? What about vulnerable adults who are assaulted because that's a huge issue for people needing social service support because of mental retardation and other issues that can make it impossible for them to communicate 'no' when they are uncomfortable, even if they aren't in a state of terror, but humiliation and confusion. What does it say about women who are unconscious or drugged? Even knowing a person does not negate the issue. If someone is in an abusive relationship and initially had consensual sex, but then it became violent, and they became pregnant, not knowing what incident caused conception, does that negate the violence they experienced? I would say that I have just described the majority of rape scenarios in the above conditions. Having a stranger in an alley grab you at knife-point isn't the only form of 'authentic rape'. Violators don't typically do that unless they want to murder the person because it's harder to rape someone that way, and perpetrators typically look for the easiest way to violate someone because they are cowards by nature who need their sense of power continually reassured.

One more important point. One reason that people who were molested as a child can have a lot of psychological scarring is because the violation was confusing. Sometimes there are physical sexual responses to unwanted sexual acts because the body can respond instinctually separate from the mind. It makes the experience more deeply scarring. It is absolutely cruel to imply this means consent.

I wanted to say this but wasn't sure how to approach it.

Not to mention the way molesters groom child victims. Makes for very conflicted feelings in the victims.

Very fine line between consenting and coercion. A black and white view of rape doesn't really make it easy to see the distinction.

I don't know anything about rape causing no baby, but I do know stress causes later periods. So whether Tonya is right or not, there is a half truth. Mental illness has proven our mental aspects can affect our physical ones
