    both parties claim the intercourse is consensual, resulting in “less trouble” for the offenders.

    Also:

    there is no consensual rape among inmates.

    Technically true, but you’re just further showing your misunderstanding of language.

        If the government declared two men could not consent to having sex with each other would you call gay men rapists? Or would you say that’s not how those words work?

          Maybe you struggle with laws but that’s how laws work. If someone says it’s ok to kill them and you do. It’s still murder. Have a good day.

            I agree. Just because the law says something is ethical (like murdering gay people) that doesn’t mean it’s actually ethical.

            Similarly, just because the law says something is unethical (like two prisoners consenting to having sex) that does not make them rapists.
