"penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."
Inside the mind of a kind of quirky, pretty stubborn, way too opinionated, twenty-something, heteroflexible Black female newly employed up-and-moved-to-DC Princeton GRADUATE who's just trying to sort out her life. An uninhibited celebration of all that is me, this blog is an exercise in self-discovery and live-with-your-heart-wide-open-ness. Though I make respect a habit, I will not always be politically correct, and I believe in the power of making audiences uncomfortable to inspire change.

The best campaign to lower occurrences of rape I've seen yet:
And in happy news, the FBI successfully woke the fuck up and changed the definition of rape. It is now gender-neutral and involves even the slightest penetration of any of the body's three main orifices without consent. In fact, I see nothing blatantly wrong with it, though I'm sure it could be broader.

it could be broadened by being less penetration-centric, i think. what about unwanted touching of genitalia? is that rape or some lesser form of sexual assault? and who gets to say what the degrees of sexual assault are?
