    Pretending to believe in astrology to get laid is kind of rapey by today’s standards.

      What’s the difference in pretending to believe in astrology and pretending to be interested in anything else they’re saying?

      We have been married for 46 years now. Despite the fact she was into astrology and I listened intensely to her about it in the beginning. It is called learning everything about each other. And if anyone was “rapey”, it was her. These days she laughs and says it was the rebellious catholic upbringing in her, (I still call her a recovering Catholic). And that I was oblivious to all the hints she was dropping in front of me.

      It all just one of the many shared memories we have together. I wouldn’t give any of them up for life itself.

          and what if the more drunk person threatens you if you don’t rape them? or worse, threatens to tell others you raped them if you don’t rape them?

          what do you do then? I’ve been in that situation a couple of times. Not a fun place to be. Sometimes doing the right thing gets you punished.

        If the guy doesn’t believe as much it’s rape but if the woman doesnt believe as much it’s not.
