Mike Lawyer stated:
"It seems that many of you are unable to distinguish without separating. For
example last week you told me that rape was not a sexual crime because it
was a violent crime."
If you recall from last week, I stated (or, at minimum, strongly implied)
that there are at least two types of rape (three, if you count statutory
rape); date (or acquaintance) rape which I consider to be a crime of sexual
impulse and/or gratification and the violent, physically confrontational
"lie in wait" variety of rape which (to me) is an act of control.
I would also like to know how you would "distinguish" one act from another
without "separating it". Or is that too simple?
Take care,
