GH: Jax's Rape


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I don’t like female-to-male rape storylines either because more times than not, it seems like a total farce and is hard to take seriously. As politically incorrect as this will sound, in general, I basically see it more as sexual coercion than knock down, drag out rape.

As a man, I couldn’t become physically aroused by someone who I’m not attracted to…especially when they're supposedly “forcing” sex upon me. It just wouldn’t happen. I’d be as limp as toilet paper.

Rape is torture. Someone becoming physically aroused during such torment simply doesn’t mesh.

I dont think its the same as Sami. From what I read, Ethan didnt threaten to kill her or Lucas. He just wouldnt help save Lucas. And she wasnt physically attacked, or restrained down with handcuffs like Jax was. This is a shot of Irina and Jax after she raped him. Theres nothing ambigious about it

Rape has nothing to do with sexual arousal, or not. It has to do with abusive assertion of power. Whether Jax was aroused by Lil' Miss Mangled English or not, he said NO! She didn't have his consent. Just like a woman could be sexually attracted to a man, but when things get a little too deep for her and she says NO and he continues regardless, it's rape.

Sexual arousal does not equal consent.

Yeah, the scenes are quite revolting, but Jax looks good. Are they purposefully dressing him extra sexy? She must have had clothes there for him to wear. He looks like a swashbuckler on the cover of a romance novel, ala Errol Flynn.

I suppose if she had him beat to a pulp within an inch of his life we could accept that more easily.

Nope, but it does equal the likelihood that this "rapist" did what we're to believe she did. GH will have to bull back those sheets and show me to prove it. There's being felt up and groped without consent, and then there's RAPE. I just have to know how many of the people responding are men or women.

Rape does not always involve physically being overpowered. Besides look at the pic from above. Irina had Jax gagged and handcuffed to the bed while she had her way with him. She already threatened to kill him during her toture of him. Jax had very little choice here

    • Elon is snapping on Trump worse than Phyllis snapped on Billy over Abbott Communications lmao.
    • In watching the Family Feud episodes, I can't get over how charming and interesting all the EON actors are. Tony Craig was not served by how Draper was written, and I wish he had been given a better character. He's so adorable on FF. From what I've seen on EON, he is never given much of a chance to show that. He should have been a major leading man in soaps based on the way he is on FF. 
    • Kim Zimmer gets a lot of details wrong. Since she gave it to so many people to read (if they actually read it and didn't just blurb it), you would think someone would have pointed out these errors. I don't know if it's just confusion on her part or if it's because she wrote it out of anger. She has admitted she was extremely angry in writing the book. I was not surprised she left out Michelle Forbes because it must have come as a blow to realize that viewers had quickly latched on to another actress.  That's probably why she was not always kind to Cynthia Watros (something she admits to). Jeanne Cooper and Victoria Rowell published similar memoirs where they were determined to get even with costars and producers they felt had wronged them. Zimmer is a lot more measured than those two.
    • And Susan did find something to hawk when All My Children was cancelled. Susan was right in the middle of a book tour to promote her autobiography. So she was facing questions from interviewers about AMC cancellation, while trying to sell her book at the same time Kim Zimmer must be clairvoyant - explains why TPTB at Guiding Light made the character Reva a psychic!
    • Who cares?  I just enjoy watching them fight.

    • Cheeseburgers, with some spicy fries! YUM!
    • Not to be that person (lol), BUT: Reva's marriage to Alan was annulled, so that doesn't count. Also, I ASSUME she had not yet been declared legally dead when she married Richard, so that one also probably doesn't count. As I've said before, it's not unusual for actors to slip up on storyline details, so I would be shocked if these were the only gaps in her memory of this kind. And, yeah, the more names, the funnier it is, so...
    • I wonder what 45/47 did to piss off Musky, who should be fixing his social media platforms speeds... things been slow for WEEKS!

    • Well: We have seen security systems at Bill and Hayley's home, so clearly, it isn't everyone. They're in a gated community, so I am sure some kind of security (a.k.a., George) exists and montiors the properties.
