The results to my "is this rape" survey, where I gave people a bunch of scenarios and had them move a slider from "not rape" to "rape".

If you don’t mind me asking, in your past experience as a sex worker, where would you personally rate “stealing money back after paying a sex worker for sex?”

I would love to see a UMAP/tSNE or another representation of people's multi-dimensional responses, or even just to see which answers correlated with each other.
I expect you may see some clusters of different approaches to 'what is rape' which can predict many answers at once

Is this how factor analysis works? I did list 4 factors I thought I noticed in the post.

This was the only scenario I presented gendered; wanted to include "culture has normalized this" as an element, which historically has been very gendered when it comes to marriage

The response at 48 is insane. It's one of two hypotheticals where both parties are actively aware it's against one of their wishes.

We've gone from "no means no" to "yes means yes" and finally to "yes means no".
There's almost always the slightest hint of regret with sex (even if it's after the fact). But the law can't criminalize or subject people to civil liability for all sex.

I’m disappointed not to find “A fun sexual encounter turns non consensual when one partner suddenly switches orifices while the other repeatedly asks them to stop.” This was ruled by authorities not to be “rape.” 🤷♀️

Gotta mention that it is interesting that what or with who you have sex (condom/no condom, trans/not trans) both involve deceit of something physical missing or not yet are rated completely differently.
