What should be done to rapist?

The women that rape men should be sentenced to death.

I think the state should commission the creation of rape devices to be used on rapists as an "eye for an eye" kind of thing. Then, the state could stage public rapings where convicted rapists get brutally raped (by said rape machine) in front of a crowd of citizens. Perhaps, it could be televised as well.

The question is too vague as to which rapist you mean.

Televising it is a great idea. In fact, it should be with a group of rapists and celebrity judges. Each week the rapists should be raped live on TV and people can call in to select the most brutal raping while the celebrity judges discuss it.

death by public hanging

"American Rapist" with Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and that other guy. Or maybe Lorenzo Lamas and David Hasselhoff would be better... Or, perhaps everyone from "The View" could host/judge...

Rapist should be punished.

They should be sent to prison for good!

loaded question without any choices............ life imprisonment if proven that the rapist can't be rehabilitated.

Well, I can't give you one definite question.

Who did they rape? What did they rape? Was it a sheep or their four year old son? (surely the latter would be much worse) Was it a statutory rape? Is it a repeat offence?

Or OJ Simpson, Joey Buttafucco and that school teacher who slept with her student.

Crap, there would be no way not to watch this show. It's pure ratings gold!

done to?

hmm.

justice.

The loudmouths from the view would be great entertainment !!

A rapist should be tried before a jury and, in the case of a verdict of guilty, the relevant punishments should applied.

What rapist?

Maybe, when we got bored with a set of hosts, we could feed them to the rape machine.

Depending on what constitutes rape. Stranger rape ending in murder, I say the death penalty.....without harm, 10 to 15 years in prison. Friend/friend "rape", if that, 6 to 12 months in prison,....and if a woman cries rape from her husband, I'd throw it out of court.

Of an adult? Prison time. Repeat offender? Permanent removal from society. Of children? Permanent removal from society.

Curious as to why you put 'rape' with parenthesis as you did. Don't think it is really rape?

Pennyann, I've never been into this type of situation, but I feel sometimes on a long time dating with someone, and things get hot and heavy between two people, the man really aroused, and she just wants it to stop "past the point of no return"...that is not rape to me. Of course the man should be able to restrain himself. What if he penetrates her, and she is willing up to that point, and then just decides to quit before a climax? It's not rape. I really don't know the answers. I know a fellow many years ago was accused of rape, by a couple girls mad at him because he wasn't interested in them. He was hauled into jail. Those were the days when there was no DNA testing. It became serious, and then the girls admitted they lied....that is NOT FUNNY.

Why would you think I'd think that was funny?

What? Husbands can rape wives. Why would you throw it out of court? It happens.

I didn't think you thought it was funny...but all too often some girls/women lie about such things as rape. On the other hand, there are those times when young girls are not believed and made to feel less than when it comes to molestation and rape, being accused of creating the problem. My niece, when questioned by the police when her stepfather molested+, her, made her feel sick inside, made her feel it was her fault....she was 7 years old when it started, ended when she was 12 years old, around the time I filed an action against him. He never touched her again, more than likely because she told him if he did it again, she'd kill him.

I feel a man and woman's bodies belong to their spouses. They should try to please each other. Obviously, I don't feel a man should beat his wife into submission, but can use some subtle loving pressure. But, I don't believe in the headache scenario...when a man wants sex, his wife should pleasure him, and visa versa.

I think people's bodies belong to themselves. I think there should be reasonable limits. Compromise. There's such a thing as wanting it "too much" or "not enough" for the other person. But that is beside the point. Rape is forceful sex on an unwilling person. A man shouldn't force himself on his wife. That is rape. Rape is more about power than sex.

Which one?

um........

Castrate the dam bastards and rip off their penis

you have serious self esteem and issues with women in general......... NO is NO, no matter when she says no. do you really think that forcing a woman or continuing to go ahead having sex with a woman when she says no has to due with "things having gone too far"?? NO, it has to do with power and power only, not sex. whether married or date or someone hiding behind a tree that you don't know............. it's ALL the same!!! it has to do with power.
what is the definition of "subtle loving pressure", how ridiculous, how amazingly ignorant! there can be rape in a marriage.
and yes, there are cases where people are falsely accused but DO NOT use those instances to belittle or play down a real case of rape which happens far more often than the cases you are siting and probably far more often than we will ever know because of small minded people like you who keep women from reporting because you are what they are up against in having the rapist convicted!!!!

Depends on the situation.

If the rapist is a man, castrate him. If it's a woman, hell I don't know. Remove her clitoris? OUCH!

American Idol for Prisoners

it's not the same, not without the rape machine

I know...

Which rapist?

I suppose each case there could be variables. However, I stand on what I said, a woman should not refuse her husband. The first "headache" I had was after 43 years of marriage, and it was short lived, because of my belief. I will always try to pleasure my husband, even though I'm not in love with him. This is my belief Linda.

Even so, it is still possible for a husband to rape a wife, even if she doesn't refuse his normal, healthy requests for sex.

There would more than likely be no "marriage" rape if a woman would give in to her husband. Obviously, I think stranger rape is horrible. I feel sometimes women, with their womanly wiles can carry the man to a point of no return, but I once had a doctor tell me, men can control themselves. My husband says a man can't control himself after a certain point, I hate to believe it to be true... If a woman's orgasm is 10% more intense than a man's, why can she control herself, and a man can't?

I think a healthy sex life begins on the outside of the bedroom.

Well, yeah. That has nothing to do with rape, though.

I still say a wife should submit to her husband. I do not believe in "rough sex".

I think that a couple should have sex when the both feel like it, and a guy shouldn't expect a woman to feel like it as often as he does. I also think there's something wrong with a woman who never or very rarely wants it. She probably needs help. Rape isn't "rough sex" (that suggests consent) it is violence.

Granted it would be nice if both partners wanted sex, but many times, one partner wants it and the other doesn't, I say please the partner that wants/needs it.

So do I. But if one partner wants it way too often than is comfortable for the other one, I say the more frisky of the two needs to chill sometimes and give the other one a break. We don't have that issue, but some couples do.

as i said, you really need to listen to the people who know what they are talking about. so you believe your husband over the doctor of course.
"give in to her husband"?? if he is FORCING her to have sex, it is rape..........
i also have to say, every time i engage with you in a disagreement or discussion, i really want to kick myself afterwards but it pains me to think that you have children, some of whom are probably female and what you have taught them. i only hope that they have minds of there own and have gone out into the world and actually figured out how things actually work.

LOL...and we both know which partner that may be that wants it more than the other. But think about it, to a woman, it is a flattery that a man desires her, and a woman is much more disciplined. My husband never strayed out of our marriage bed, because I gave him sex, any time of the day, but this is not always the case, a woman don't have to withhold and a weak man, unto only himself will seek another. I agree, with two people, who have some common sense, should be able to work with each other, know subtle hints, when they want sex....and by no means hold sex from one another as punishment.

It is my belief, I am not weak when I say a woman should submit to her husband, it is the smart thing to do....I am confident. There should not be contests between loving partners.

As I've mentioned I have four children, two sons, and two daughters. My sons have often said they just don't make women like me anymore...LOL They've always told me what kind of women they like...and lo and behold, they gather the same characteristics as I. Now with my daughters, one is a lesbian, which has been my biggest heartbreak, but she is still my girl, and I'm proud of her and I love her, and she knows it. I do not treat any of my children differently. I know why she's in the place she's in, and that's a long story. My other daughter is much like me about motherhood, and being a wife. But I didn't really know about her as far as her relationship with her former husband. He wanted a career woman, and my daughter chose to be wife and mother, and this is ultimately the reason they divorced. He committed adultry, was never home due to his work or just plan his outdoor life. He gave her an ultimatum, get a job, or I leave, so he left. She was in the process of applying for work, little did he know. The problem my daughter said was...he's not home now, and that would leave her taking care of their two children, take care of the house, and a job from the home. Her husband wanted his play time, which led him from the home all the time. She fought him on this...so he sold his family for some free time, and a career girl, who was married, had three children. This is what selfishness does.

Women shouldn't hold out so much that men hardly ever get playtime, but men shouldn't be so frisky that women never get a break. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. It is okay to refuse his advances if he wants it so often that you never get a break from it. Why are his "needs" more important than yours? And what if the man is absolutely horrible at it? Some guys want to do only what turns themselves on, and do nothing that the woman likes. I can totally understand a woman refusing something like that. Marriage isn't all for the man, as if he is more important.

What LJD is saying is pure evil bullcrap.

It's always okay to say no. It has to be. If a man can't respect his partner enough to respect "no" then he shouldn't be with that person. End of story.

I agree marriage IS NOT all for men. Men and women are to complement each other. Obviously both partners should work to please each other, and neither partner should do "just anything", and should consent to only what they deem appropriate. If a man requires sex, 10 times a day, I see a problem. But, normal needs is a different thing....10 times a day is NOT normal. And when I speak to a woman consenting to submitting to her husband, I am generally speaking of sexual intercourse, petting...I'm not talking about kinky sex. I still say, it is a DUTY of a wife to submit to "normal" sex with her husband...plus it's smart. At the same time, a man should be considerate of his wife, in the event she can't, for health reasons, having surgery, when a wife is extremely ill or such as having a baby,

True.

They should come to an agreement about what is right for them, how much is too much, and how much is not enough. If he has a reasonable amount of sex, there are times when she can just "not feel like it" health reasons or not. A man should be considerate of her when she doesn't just feel like it.

I agree a man should be considerate.

Kinda vague there.

punish all rapists, not just one

Could you give a few clues as to which rapist you're referring to?

Any rapist I think that they are all in one gross category

Does that mean you'd want someone charged with statutory rape to get the same level of punishment as someone who committed forcible rape?
