This is a short and simple one. The society places a lot of value on facing your ordeal 'like a man.' We had that movie - where the protagonists were lauded as they went laughing to the gallows - one of the most memorable lines of the movie was - "Then I met the third kind..." At the time of writing, there are many luminaries who say that if you submit cheerfully to all the trails and tribulations, you become a 'master', and if you do it under duress, you are a slave. Well, I have a simple question - If someone is out there to rape you, and you submit to it without resistance, does it become consensual? Just think, when you laud the 'third kind' the next time.
