Homicide In Response To A Threat Of Rape: A Theoretical Examination Of The Rule Of Justification, Judith Fabricant
Homicide In Response To A Threat Of Rape: A Theoretical Examination Of The Rule Of Justification, Judith Fabricant
Golden Gate University Law Review
This paper will attempt to show the criminal law has permitted homicide when committed in order to prevent crimes which threaten harm so severe and permanent as to be incapable of repair through subsequent legal proceedings. Rape has consistently been regarded as such a crime. The paper will identify the interests which rape has been seen to threaten as those interests which derive their significance from a social system in which women are the property of men. It will argue that, to the extent changing social values have reduced the significance of those interests, they are no longer adequate to …

Although this prevalent interpretation certainly reflects conventional wisdom and tells part of a true war story, the remainder, which has been very much less publicized and addressed, also perceives women as participants in violence and men occasionally as victims. This Article joins the chorus of scholars that have only recently begun to highlight the flaws of this common belief and conversely, describe female participation in conflict and armed violence, often …
Sex Education And Rape, Michelle J. Anderson
Sex Education And Rape, Michelle J. Anderson
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
In the law of rape, consent has been and remains a gendered concept. Consent presumes female acquiescence to male sexual initiation. It presumes a man desires to penetrate a woman sexually. It presumes the woman willingly yields to the man's desires. It does not presume, and of course does not require, female sexual desire. Consent is what the law calls it when he advances and she does not put up a fight. I have argued elsewhere that the kind of thin consent that the law focuses on is not enough ethically and it should not be enough legally to justify …
