"How is a man to know?"
Because she said no.
It's not that difficult.

No, I don't think people are saying that. I just think the issue ought to be completely dropped after the first no because saying no once is extremely difficult in vulnerable situations.

I'm as stupified at this as you. I can't even believe how they are justifying or redescribing it. One No and you stop. No more.
Yes NeMeSiS3, that's a good way to have a discussion. Comment on the mistyped letter instead of the issue. Now I think you are trolling.

Oh so women know everything? Well it's ironic that you two speak for all women on earth in extremely condescending fashion, the irony. To be frank, I've had this discussion with multiple women on multiple occasions and they think it's absolutely reasonable to pry the 2nd question... I was being very clear, you should have quoted the whole line. I said (paraphrased) that if the girl says no (not to directly saying "sex" but the actions leading to it) and you can choose to pry with questions like "are you sure" or "not tonight?" etc and they say no again that is the rule. This whole "no means no" bullshit is ridiculous because women apparently can beg and beg and beg for sex but men get the "no means no" because it happens more often? talk about hypocritical.
Hypocrisy is when you expect a different standard for yourself to the standard you hold others to. Asking again may be coercive when done by a man for a multitude of reasons which do not apply to women. Both physical intimidation and the capacity to rape and for a fuckload of rape culture reasons. The situations are not directly comparable and therefore your accusation of hypocrisy misses the mark.

He was talking about asking his girlfriend. That's not a vulnerable situation.
This whole stupid debate of the last 10 posts happens because NO MEANS NO is just a slogan and not applicable to the real world. In reality it's about gaining and withdrawing consent. If a girl says no there are plenty of situations where she means "not right now" or "I don't really feel like it, but maybe I can be convinced". People in general are smart enough to navigate through these waters.

Yeah I worded that wrong. I guess I meant to say, both are usually drunk out of their heads at this point, anything that happens can't be accountable to either person I meant by that. I typed it in a rush before.
Still, it doesn't change the fact that in my opinion its the culture and social aspects of life that are the root of the cause, not the definition of rape itself. It's subjective and will change from person to person. The culture is for girls to go out looking "hot" which will naturally cause guys to notice/want to have sex with them. It's assumed by men to be the case, when it probably isn't. I still think a lot of women are scared to say no however, and do it because they're scared of "angering" the bloke in question, and part of the reason they say they were raped is because they felt intimidated.

Haha idk if never putting myself in the position of having a stranger grinding on me flaws my perspective or enhances it. But I suppose it certainly changes the nature of my question.

You are all men - any wrong decision any of you happen to make in this regard, women are the victims.
I'm not angry, I'm...bewildered, to an extent, and frightened about behavior people feel is appropriate.
I'm sorry to have disappointed you so much.
My "back to Starcraft" comment was supposed to be flippant.
If a woman says no and you continue, it is rape - that is not me on a high horse, that's how it is.
I understand that the definitions by law was where this thread started, and I apologise.

Simple:
Ask "would you like to have sex?"
Seriously, victim blaming is just silly. It's VERY easy to confirm consent and only takes a few moments.

I agree with you. In a perfect world it would be that simple. The fact is, (at least in the UK) from what I've read, women are starting to lose more and more cases that make it to court about rape because it's becoming a part of the culture to have sex after a night out and the rise of the prominence of one night stands. It's a culultral issue as much as a legal one. Both men and women look for people to have sex with that night, but women think they have more power in rape cases, which in my view is appauling. It's like the gender equality campaigners that want women equal pay, but still get preferential treatment in child custody cases etc. Nobody knows what went on that night except the two people in question.

I think that would be covered by sexual assault under certain circumstances. I really think that penetration needs to be excluded, because as it stands in the UK women really CAN'T rape men in the legal sense, which is an issue.

I think one shouldn't argue that rarity equates to allowance... Obviously that is wrong and should quickly be corrected.

Sorry, guys. I fail to see how I have any attitude compared to anyone else here.
You wanted to know a woman's point of view about what constituted rape and I gave it.
I honestly hope you all understand that sex is a sensitive issue and not every woman is trying to fuck with your head when she says no.
I'll leave you to it.
