PHI 121 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Quarter Pounder, Transactional Sex, Peer Pressure
RAPE - compromise responsibility
Is responsibility ever limited?
“Two consenting adults”
How do you know when no means no??
If you’re addicted, how can you be responsible?
Why are we incarcerating victims if they can’t be responsible?
PROBLEM - IMPLIED CONSENT - Perception (all relied on)
Even in a consenting relationship, rape is possible
Just because you’re consenting to a relationship, doesn’t mean you’re consenting to sex
PLAYING A GAME
Human behavior isn’t always that clear
- Scared, someone close to her
- In some aspects it’s all about power sometimes it’s not clea
- It’s as simple as a cup of tea
- Want to date - interested in person - fuel
- If someone says either die or get raped
- Peer pressure
Can a man put charges on a woman for rape? Good luck.
- Much more difficult for a male, even in a homoseual realtionship, to report rape
Arousal as consent?
- Obliged or obligated if you feel once you make a moral decision, no longer claim rape
- Raped and feeling obligated to have sex with someone
- Sense of duty
- Do not obliged, responsibility or duty
Rape isn’t regret
- NO GREY AREA
- Coercion erases consent
Is seduction rape?
Is sex wrong when it’s a transaction?
“Burger and Bang club” - taking a girl out to dinner and expecting something after for him
(objectification)
“I’ll give you a bite of a quarter pounder and pound her”
What’s dehumanizing if we don’t know what a human is to begin with?
Treat a human as an end not as a means
