re: #272 Obdicut

I know. I was just trying to clear up the mess that I’d made when I foolishly asserted that rape wasn’t being alleged. One of the allegations is sex with a sleeping woman, and that can be held as ‘rape’ in Sweden, from what I’ve read.

I also think that such a thing is, in fact, rape.

We need better language. That usage really threatens women who have faced terrifying traumatic situations.
