re: Is "legitimate rape" placed in quotes and considered offensive because women

quote:

The inclusion of the word, "illegitimate" directly in front of the word, "rape" means that in reality it wasn't a rape.

Then there's no reason to state it at all.

Some things can be described using different words, for example, a "lie" can also be called an "untruth" or "not the truth".

Therefore, I can accept the use of the term, "illegitimate rape" as another way to call something that is "not a rape".

Try using it in a sentence that does not in some way infer guilt of something.

I get what you are saying but the term "illegitimate rape" was only coined after the nonsense started that it is always rape when a drunk female college student has sexual intercourse with a male college student.
