Look, I just wanted to start an interesting conversation and it worked. I don't mind the downvotes because every reply and vote, up or down, means people are talking.

Humans have a pretty spotty history with how they treat each other, it's not a huge stretch to imagine some weird historical moment where consent wasn't a concept or wasn't recognized. The word rape was pretty strong for me to use, but just a few years ago we used to call it date rape instead of just rape.
