So here's a scenario: a man and a woman are having casual sex. He starts getting rough with her and begins to hurt her. She begins to feel uncomfortable about the whole thing. He starts doing something to her to which she clearly and audibly responds: "No, not that"
He ignores what she had just said and forces it on her anyway. The way she is positioned, she can't get away from him, she's helpless and the longer it goes on, the more afraid she gets. He then does whatever else he wants to her. She's not enjoying any of it, but she goes along with it out of fear of what he might do if she objects.
How would you define it?

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
@Rising star, your point about how men treat women...I think is part but not all of it.
I HOPE I'm teaching my son better. In my experience many parents are pathetic about teaching their kids how to resolve conflict.
And, patti, it's a vast subject that cannot be accurately described in just a couple of lines.
Thanks all for your responses.
My experience in US, women have been shamed and guilted here through religion for generations. During industrial revolution, other revolutions happened which allowed women overseas to emancipate very early on.
My exH's mother and father are in their 80s and most of their generation - women- had very little ability to self sustain, nevermind be sexually empowered.
Maybe this is why it seems like men want sex more than women?
Although, I have to agree - when we have kids, we go full force for mothering instead of sexing lol
