Uh, yes. A woman who wants a condom used is not just expressing a preference, she is protecting herself from unwanted pregnancy and disease. A man who uses physical force to override that request is demonstrating disregard for his partner’s physical wellbeing, demonstrating disregard for her stated limitations on their sexual encounter, and ignoring the terms under which she agreed to have sex with him, that is, disregarding her consent or lack thereof.

And a man may protect himself from becoming a father by wanting to use a condom. Not sure what he difference is between saying that you are going to use a condom and then ripping it, or saying that you are on birth control when you aren’t.
The reasons for wanting to use a condom isn’t the issue, Assange is being accused of being in breach of the what was agreed upon to have sex.
