ETA - What I'm getting at is that you can even define a rape as rape yet your mind will come up with ways that you "made" someone rape you, which is not a thing.

I’m sorry you experienced that. I can’t imagine!
Hadn’t thought of the point you made-that way.
You’re right, of course.
I’m giving all of this a lot of thought
Side note...I’m surprised the legal definition of rape is so narrow.
That one aspect of the intimacy I talked about...
I said ‘no.’ I remember that clearly.
He made me do it anyway....using force and fear.
Shocking that’s not legally rape just bc the body parts have different names.
