[BREITBART] Turns out she got drunk, got high, got laid. It doesn't sound like she ever did get smart."Rape," Lena, is the guy who sneaks up behind you out of an alley and grabs you and throws you to the ground and rips your pants off. My knowledge is probably way out of date, but it used to be that force and penetration had to be present to make it rape.
The other kind of rape is the older man seducing the girl under the legal age of consent, which varies from state to state. The girl (or boy for that matter) is judged to be incapable of consenting since she/he can't yet comprehend the consequences of the actions. Comprehension comes at age 17 in Louisianna, 16 in Canada. I think 16 is the minimum in the U.S.A. In Pennsylvania the age of consent is 16, but if an adult diddles a girl under 18 he's corrupting the morals of a minor, which is a different offense, a misdemeanor versus a felony.
Miss Dunham, who is famous for something or other, is attempting to stretch the statutory provisions to cover the consequences of her own stoopid actions. But an adult should really be expected to comprehend the consequences of what he or she does, to include imbibing the Demon Rum and recreational pharmaceuticals.
There are lots of tales about people who get drunk and wake up the next morning in bed with someone frightening or disgusting or of uncertain species. Sounds to me like Lena just added another one to the repertoire. But she wasn't raped, regardless of her roommate's opinion.
And I'm not at all sure that Republicans are hornier than anyone else. Better-looking, perhaps...
