As a result of my "wildness", I was gang raped one night. I don't remember very much of the incident as I was very drunk. Some might say that it wasn't really rape because I had consented to have sex with one of the guys. However, I give you this definition:
RAPE - Rape is an act of sexual intercourse in which the person does not give consent and is not married to the assailant. The law further defines the following circumstances as rape: 1) where the person is incapable of consent due to mental disease, disorder of physical disability; 2) where the act is accomplished against a person's will by means of force or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury; 3) where the person cannot resist due to intoxicating, narcotic or anesthetic substances administered by or with the privity of the accused; 4) where the act is accomplished against the victim's will by threatening to retaliate in the future against the victim or other person; and 5) where the victim is unconscious.
Even at the time I told my friend I was raped, but I never did anything (legally) about it. I guess I felt I deserved it. And, apparently that is a common misconception about rape. No woman or man deserves to be raped!! And, it's not your fault, no matter what!!
