'''Rape''' can be defined as any form of non-consensual sex, but often has violent connotations. The vast majority of people, including the [[boylove community]], frown upon genuine rape (as opposed to the "radical feminist" definition of rape"--which means any kind of sexual activity involved in by a minor, either ''with'' or ''without'' the minor's consent.)


Style guides for many major newspapers require that the word ''rape'' be used to refer to any type of sexual contact involving children who are below the [[age of consent]].  This can make it difficult to understand the exact nature of certain accusations.
Whoopi Goldberg created quite a stir when she spoke of "'rape' rape" vs. "rape rape" on ''The View'' (Sept. 28, 2009), hosted by Sherri Shepherd:
:"Whoopi Goldberg stopped Sherri Shepherd in mid-fume as she ranted about Roman Polanski "raping" a 13-year-old.  Polanski didn’t plead guilty to a rape charge, Goldberg (correctly) pointed out.  In his plea bargain, he admitted to having "unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor" (Polanski, now 76, was in his mid-forties at the time).  And while something had surely occurred that day, Goldberg continued, it wasn’t "rape rape."  Prodded by an unrepentant Shepherd, Goldberg allowed that while she wouldn’t like to think of her own 14-year-old daughter having sex, in Europe they saw young teens differently. <ref>http://www.more.com/news/womens-issues/whoopi-it-wasnt-rape-rape</ref>"
::Whoopi: "I know it wasn't 'rape'-rape. It was something else, but I don't believe it was 'rape'-rape. He went to jail and and when they let him out he was like, 'You know what--this guy's going to give me a hundred years in jail--I'm not staying,' so that's why he left [the US and fled to Europe]."<ref>http://jezebel.com/5369395/whoopi-on-roman-polanski-it-wasnt-rape-rape</ref>"
