re: #209 ObserverArt

I am a boomer and it was either the Catholic nuns or all the female cousins I spent a lot of time playing (no…not that playing) with in my youth where I learned or was influenced in mysterious ways in what you call the modern rape definition.

I was always “dumb” enough to make things clear from all sides.

Of course, that also led to some of my male friends to wonder about me and how much a man I was really but I never let it bother me. I knew what I thought and I lived with myself. There is one person you have to be true to first.

And I was fortunate enough to be late enough in the Boom that it had become okay for at least a subset of college-age women to be open about liking sex without being branded sluts. But the difference between the late 70s vs the mid 60s was profound.
