I do not think there are any blurred lines when it comes to rape.
If you say no, then it's no. End of story. If they continue it's rape.
It doesn't matter if you fight like hell or lay there and take it, if you have said no, then it's no.
Even if you are half way through and you change your mind and they don't stop, it is rape.
I understand how difficult and frustrating it could be for a man, but no means no at any stage. You can not violate a woman's body no matter how difficult it may be to stop.
Some women can be very emotional and easily confused when it comes to intercourse, especially if feelings are involved. So we reserve the right to change our minds at any stage.
I easily believe that 1 out of every 4 woman are raped or sexually assaulted. The sad part is most of them go unreported.
It takes a very strong person to report a rape. But in the long run it is worth it.
You need to take charge.
