Forced sexual intercourse has gained steadily in importance as the
status of women in our society has increased. The confusion and
lack of clarity in definition, including the inability to establish
a clear set of types or clear boundaries around the phenomenon, is
extensive and political. The rhetoric, intensity, and lack of
specificity and accuracy in research and stated positions work to
the disadvantage of the women who are the victims in most of the
incidents in which forced sexual intercourse is alleged and in many
of incidents in which force is used to gain sexual intercourse -
but is not labeled as inappropriate or unacceptable. Two political
positions emerge - the first is identified as the feminist movement
which is, to some extent, driven by a victim orientation and which
is, at times, a label which is externally imposed rather than a
matter of self-identification adopted by the researchers. The
second movement is identified as sexist, a label which also usually
is imposed by others and not accepted by the researchers who
question the interpretations of research that is identified as
feminist. There is an implication that the rates of victimization
are exaggerated and attempts to increase the level of control of
dating courtship and courtship behaviour are excessive - setting
standards for men and women which are not realistic. An area of
research which is comprehensive, measures community attitudes and
examines the relationships among various attitudinal constructs,
particularly those attitudes which influence the labelling of
forced sexual intercourse as rape, as justified, or as mitigated by
a range of contextual factors - such as gender role stereotyping,
social context, victim characteristics, victim acceptance of
responsibility, acceptance of rape myths, and definitions of
appropiate masculine behaviour. Aside from data on violent
offenders, there is limited focus on the less extreme offender and
the factors which influence his behaviour. Also the focus is on the
those women who have been severely traumatized by their
victimizations and exclude those who have managed to cope with
their victimization. This text examines the results of these
inconsistences in the definition(s) of forced sexual intercourse
and the tendency for offenders and victims to define their
experiences within the boundaries of appropriate behaviour.
