        @WSJ Should've asked him to distinguish between 'non-consent' and rape. That's when things get really creepy.

        @WSJ In some states it is defined as rape. Can we call it FORCIBLE ? Perhaps that is what is meant. Morons.

        @WSJ Didn't the liberal press make an issue of poor underaged kids who were charged with rape when the sex was consensual but under age?
