"Made to Penetrate is a form of sexual victimization particularly unique to males that is distinct from the act of rape."

This is supposed to be the strong female Captain we have been pining after for so long so why are they writing her as horny, desperate slattern who pines after a technological dildo posing as a bit of rough? ...when Janeway starts personalising her dildo to her own specifications I was literally speechless. How would this have gone down if it had been Sisko up to the same antics by making modifications to his Orion slave girl? The breasts a little larger, making her more submissive and open her up to a wider range of filthy scenarios — he would be written off as an iniquitous, chauvinistic tosspot! Well I don't buy that it is any less offensive that a woman should be perfecting a man to take to her bed — we are supposed to be in female emancipated times you know, and that means they have to take the same sorts of criticisms as men as well as the good stuff. This is not characterising a strong woman, its sheer tawdriness is quite the reverse and it feels like we have stepped back in time 50 years in that respect. And then to have dirty laundry exposed so publicly by her blow up man? Ugh when Janeway pointed out that Michael Sullivan was exactly her type and they had the same interests I realised she has made a male version of herself! Janeway is literally pleasing herself! Excuse me a moment... bleugh... It took Janeway three days in the holodeck to realise that it is all an illusion (quick thinking there, Kathy).
Chris: Uzi, just off the top of your head, what percentage of the episodes that we've seen have had Clark sort of passively held down and straight up mounted by a lady character?
David: ...100% of the historical ones, I think.
Chris: Yeah, and it's like you said. Zatanna hits him with some magic to take away his ability to resist, and before you can say "esrever lrigwoc," she's in his lap working like a part-time job.
David: Man of Steel, Woman of Nylon.
Chris: I will say, I like Smallville's version of Identity Crisis (2004) way better than the original. We got a million of 'em, folks!

Zatanna is a criminally insane person ripped from the pages of a Christopher Pike novel. Or she's the real Mxyzptlk. That is a retcon that I would find acceptable. Either way, since Clark is locking people away in the Phantom Zone lately, he should probably send Zatanna an invite post haste. This is now the second time she's magically roofied Clark. If the roles were reversed and Ollie was running around dosing women, I would guess that we'd see some outrage.
Kyle: Ex-excuse me? My name is... Brad... and I need to report a crime, anonymously.
Sergeant Yates: Oh? What's the crime?
Kyle: Well, I attend South Park Elementary, a-and one of the teachers is having sex with a student.
[All of the police officers are horrified]
Yates: You did the right thing telling the police, Brad. Now who is the teacher? What's his name?
Kyle: Well, it isn't a guy teacher, it's a woman.
Officer #1: A woman?
Kyle: Yeah, she's having sex with a boy.
Officer #2: Oh, but... but she's ugly, right?
Kyle: Well, no, not really. It's the kindergarten teacher, Miss Stevenson.
Yates: The blonde?
Kyle: Yeah.
Officer #1: Some young boy is having sex with Miss Stevenson?!
Kyle: Yes.
Officer #1: Nice...
Yates: Nice...
Kyle: What? No, you don't understand i—
Officer #1: You sure they've had sex?
Kyle: Yeah!
Officer #3: Has she preformed oral sex on him?
Kyle: I think so.
Officer #3: Nice...
Officer #1: Nice...
Officer #3: Nice...
Yates: So, wait... what's the crime?
Officer #1: [nudging Officer #2] The crime is she isn't doin' it with me!
[The officers all laugh]
Kyle: Hey! He's totally underage! She's taking advantage of him!
Yates: You're right. We're sorry. This is serious. We need to track this student down and... give him his "Luckiest Boy in America" medal right away.

Lochan: How many cases of younger sisters sexually abusing older brothers have you read about? Come to think of it, how many female rapists and female pedophiles are there?
Maya: But that's crazy! I could have been the one to force you into a sexual relationship! Not physically, but by — I dunno — bribes, blackmail, threats, whatever! Are you saying that even if I'd abused you, people would still assume I was the victim just because I'm a girl and one year younger?
Lochan: Unless there was some really strong evidence to the contrary — an admission of guilt on your part, witnesses or something — then, yes.
Maya: But that's so sexist, so unfair!
Lochan: I agree, but people rely heavily on generalizations, and although it must sometimes happen the other way round, it's gotta be pretty rare. For a start, there's the physical aspect... So it's not really all that surprising that in situations like this, guys are automatically assumed to be the abusers, especially if they're older.

Jeremy: How was the rest of your evening with Peaches Stalin?
Mark: Oh, okay. Bit funny... I woke up with Natalie shagging me, and I wasn't really into it, and I asked her to stop but she didn't. That was a bit of a weird one.
Jeremy: ...You asked her to stop, but she just carried on anyway?
Mark: Yes. It was all a bit... y'know...
Jeremy: Mark. It sounds like... you've been raped. By a soldier. Like in a Mike Leigh film.
Mark: Stop talking like this, Jeremy.
Jeremy: You said "no". You said "stop having sex with me, please". But she didn't listen. You, my friend, are a rape victim.
Mark: It's more complicated than that.
Jeremy: Do you have feelings of guilt and shame and self-loathing?
Mark: You know I do, don't load the question.
[...]
Jeremy: Don't mind Mark, Super Hans. He's a bit down in the dumps. He's been raped.
Super Hans: Yeah? You got raped?
Mark: A woman just continued to have sex with me after I'd asked her to stop, that's all.
Super Hans: Sounds like you were raped to me, Mark. Classic case.
Mark: It wasn't rape, all right!? It was just a minor sexual assault! She didn't force anything up my bum. That's why it's not rape!
Jeremy: Well, it's not bum-rape, no.
Super Hans: Never said it was bum-rape, Mark.
Mark: Oh, okay. Bit funny... I woke up with Natalie shagging me, and I wasn't really into it, and I asked her to stop but she didn't. That was a bit of a weird one.

— Alpharad recounts his grandfather's reaction to a news story about a teacher jailed for sleeping with a student.
to a news story about a teacher jailed for sleeping with a student.Despite being an obviously comical work, a visual depiction of continued events would generate a shit-storm that I really don't want to ride out, so, rather than the rapeter (which I remind, is intended as a comedic creation) having its wicked way with the hotpants-wearing paleobotanist, let's say the following happens instead:
The rapeter and the paleobotanist sit down and have a nice, lengthy chat about life on the island, during which the rapeter explains her frustration at the lack of intimate company. The paleobotanist sympathizes with the rapeter, as she was in a similar situation during her younger years at an all-girls' school.
The paleobotanist invites the rapeter out for an evening meal, initially out of charity, but over the course of the night she recognizes that the two of them seem to share a deeper understanding of each other.
One thing leads to another...
...And they spend a good number of hours entwined in (entirely consensual) intimacy.
There. That's lovely, isn't it?
Now here's a mathematician being fucked by a T-Rex.

Fred: Wait a minute, wait a minute. You mean to tell me you're gonna rape one of these girls? With all these guards hangin' around?
Harry: I ain't gonna rape one of them. One of them — is gonna rape me.

One part of The Last Resurrection that I find troubling is its attitude towards sex. As noted above, the game's central protagonist rapes and murders two men shortly before the final boss fight. When Jesus takes her to task for killing people, she replies "Yes I do kill every once in a while for food... but you... YOU have killed millions already and you plan to kill nearly everyone on Earth!" So, Kalista's life of rape and murder is justified by setting her against a colossal straw man.
The novelisation tones down this element of the storyline. It shows the succubae feeding off peasants in a non-fatal manner, with the victims knocked unconscious and returned home. It retains the game's uncritical portrayal of rape, however, as Kalista and Julie freely violate male peasants ("The man moaned, not caring about the pain with the holes in his neck").
The novel also contains a lengthy scene in which Kalista is raped by Jesus — "His dick was already erect before my face (roughly 9"), he lifted it and pushed it to my lips" — in which the sexual assault is portrayed in a negative light. It is never made entirely clear how Jesus' rape of Kalista is worse than the rapes performed by Kalista and Julie. Intentionally or not, the story implies that rape is bad when committed by men, but acceptable when committed by women.
