One of the most controversial points in the modern discussion of rape is consent – by failing to communicate, rapes can sometimes occur without the rapist even understanding what they’ve done or why the victim feels the way they do. Comic artist Alli Kirkham helped clear the question up with a series of 7 comics that illustrate sexual consent issues with everyday situations that are easier for everyone to understand.
For most, the word “rape” conjures up images of shadowy hooded figures sexually assaulting people at night. Violent criminals don’t concern themselves with consent, which covers the uncertain ‘grey area’ that many people are confused about. According to RAINN, an anti-sexual-violence organization in the U.S., 47% of rapists are the victim’s friend or acquaintance and 4/5 of assaults are by someone known to the victim. Men and women need to educate themselves about consent to avoid crossing each others’ boundaries without even knowing it.

Putting it all in another context to point out the absurdities. Genius.

This is so accurate. I can't stand the idea some women go through sexual situations like this.

I just find it so damn sad that you actually have to point stuff like this out for people to get the point... =/ I SO wish they never reproduce and that they compete for a Darwin Award! =/

Nothing but a bunch of strawmen arguments and anybody who actually thinks society thinks like this needs to take off their paranoia lends.

I have yet to meet anyone who does not understand the concept of rape. I have met very few people willing to openly discuss the topic, which I think is far more important than explaining a concept anyone above 8 years old understands. Also, rape is not only against women, it is a gender neutral term.

Certainly in the UK, legally only a man can rape a woman or another man so only men are legally capable of committing rape by definition. When women are the perpetators, than falls under a different crime - sexual assault, of which there are different definitions.

You're missing a strip. Say 2 people have a pleasing experience together, then one has after-thoughts a few days later and sues the other over it.

There WAS consent during the act. Then the accuser decided to lie about it. By the way: only 1-2% of rape cases in the USA are false. That's less that pretty much any other crime, including auto theft.

Bit juvenile for a complicated issue, but having said that, there are some that might STILL not understand.

Most of these could very easily turned around and shot down. There is a huge difference in deciding youve changed your mind in the middle of a card game, and waiting til youre in the middle of having sex, and suddenly saying, stop, i decided i dont want to have sex. Thats like being in the middle of a roller coaster ride, and stopping it as it is going down its big dive, and saying, ive changed my mind, let me off. I dont want to finish this ride.
