Rape Me Please

I believe that who we become, is not merely defined nor determined only on our biological make-up. It is a stew of sorts, made up of our parents contribute biologically, throw in some experiences, both positive and negative, add our education or lack thereof, emotionally encouragement, love, peers, community, etc. You get the picture. Therefore, if who I become is influenced by my experiences, then does rape not alter who I am? A re-birth takes place, a forced evolution.

I was under the impression until recently that those of that claim to be Homo sapiens knew, without a doubt, that rape was not sex. That by its very definition and the permanent destructive forces that are unleashed on the victim and their families lives, forever, that rape had very little to do with sex.

As defined by kidshealth.org, Rape is forced, unwanted sexual intercourse. Rape, sometimes also called sexual assault, can happen to both men and women of any age. Rape is about power, not sex. A rapist uses actual force or violence — or the threat of it — to take control over another human being. Some rapists use drugs to take away a person’s ability to fight back. Rape is a crime, whether the person committing it is a stranger, a date, an acquaintance, or a family member. No matter how it happened, rape is frightening and traumatizing. People who have been raped need care, comfort, and a way to heal.

This definition leaves noting to chance, and for the life of me, I can not determine why such a violation could be mistaken for intercourse. The only similarity being that the human sex organs are involved.
My assumption was apparently incorrect one. Rape resembles the sex act, but the end product is different in both instances; one produces pleasure, while the other results in trauma and life long pain.

 Have you thought that something must be wrong with me? Why did this thing happen to me? You ruminate about all the things that you culd have done to keep the rape from occurring. Maybe I said something, or I wore my skirt a little too shirt, maybe my jeans needed to be a little more loose. Do you place yourself on a never ending cycle of self-blame?
