purplespacecats:fuckyeahsexpositivity:jadelyn:“Rape is a criminal act whatever the circumstances. A woman riding the subway nude may be guilty of indecency, but she may not be raped. If she invites or even sells sex at 10:00 and refuses it at 10:45, the partner who disregards her refusal and forces sex is guilty of rape. If she is drunk, asleep, mentally defective, paralyzed or dead, she must not be raped. Why? Because sexual congress must be by consent.”- Toni MorrisonI don’t like the phrase “mentally defective,” and people with physical disabilities can consent, but everything else is spot on.—BBI’ve seen this before but I didn’t reblog it because of the phrase “mentally defective,” so I’m glad someone pointed it out. It reminds me of the fact that the SAVP website says that people with mental or physical disabilities are unable to consent, which is absolutely untrue. -- source link
