GH: Jax's Rape

[R Sinclair]

Seriously, I'm trying to figure out this debate. Jax said NO to the Irina woman. He chose his marriage vows to Carly over this Irina woman and she violated his choice.

I would understand if the Irina woman propositioned Jax and he CHOSE to have sex with her, but he didn't. He refused and she coerced him into it using violence and threats (pistol whipping, anyone?). If this were a woman in the same position, there would be no debate.

It's equal opportunity here, regardless of gender. If she says NO to him, then it's NO! End of story. If he says NO to her, it's still a viable NO!

The Irina woman used her position of power to get what she wanted, just like any other rapist. I'll say it again -- rape is not about SEX but it's about exertion of power.

There's no doubt in my mind that if Jax had the choice of going back to Carly or having sex with the Irina woman, he would've chose going back to Carly. BUT THE IRINA WOMAN TOOK AWAY HIS RIGHT TO CHOOSE!

^^^^Excellent post R Sinclair and ITA

[R Sinclair]

Lord, have mercy! The two of us agreeing?! It's apocalypse now!

SO much WORD R Sinclair, and sorry Andrea, but Sami in now way paid EJ for anything, and yes Cheap he did have a gun, so her choice was to let the father of her child die, or have sex with someone.

Anyways anyone else feel like Ingo is being punished for coming and going from the show so much? Wouldn't shock me with Guza

[R Sinclair]

I wouldn't put it past Guza, either. But I think it has less to do with Ingo's coming and going than it does with Guza clearly wanting Carly to be part of the Mob World a.k.a. Sonny and Jason's right hand gal. I honestly think that CarJax was an accident and now Guza's probably acting out since he's most likely being forced to write for a couple he doesn't really believe in. This is the second Ingo Vacation where CarJax has been threatened. First, it was last winter when Sonny duped Carly into marrying him. Now, it's this summer where Jax is forced to have sex with Irina.

Also, we have to see what God Almighty a.k.a. Maurice thinks of his pairing with Megan(Kate/Connie). I think that had a lot to do with the chain of events, too (I read rumors where Carly was initially supposed to be mixing it up with Kate and Sonny rather than Jerry during Ingo's absence). It's clear that Maurice is having a BALL playing scenes with Megan. I haven't seen Sonny or Maurice be so charming and sweet and relaxed in scenes in ages. I'm no insider, just a fan, but my opinion is Maurice is enjoying playing scenes where Sonny has a connection to someone in his Bensonhurst past. As an actor, I think he's finding it refreshing, rather than playing the same old Sonny/Carly dynamic -- regardless of which actress is playing Carly this year.

I agree, Mo is clearly enjoying "Skate" Sonny & Kate, and I hate Sonny but love him and Kate

IMO LW has more chemistry with Ingo & Steve than she has with Mo

LOL Now it seems like GH fans are debating what DAYS fans have been debating for the past couple of months.

Have fun! Don't forget to take tylenol or advil.

I don't think it's the same situation either. EJ didn't kidnap Sami tie her up and threaten to kill of her family. He simply stated that he wouldn't help Lucas and as a result Lucas would die and Sami would have to live with that. He gave Sami a choice and Sami paid that choice by giving EJ what he wanted. It was a barter, a trade. Did she want to have sex with him? No. But she did it to save Lucas' life and if she had to do it again she probably would do it in a heartbeat. I just can't cobble that around and get rape. He didn't force the issue. He made a proposal that Sami accepted to save her boyfriend.

Jax did not have the luxury of such a choice. Jax was beaten, threatened and physically violated threw no choice of his own. That is RAPE. There simply is no other word for it.

Thank you. That's what I've been trying to say all along. Just because Jax had alittle bit of wood doesn't mean that it wasn't rape. It was not consensual sex. He was violated and she took away his choice. Jax made it clear he wasn't cheating on Carly even after she threatened his family. Yet she forciablly sex him up against his will.

AMEN

Add me to the list and you know for sure it's an apocolypse!

[R Sinclair]

YIKES! Now I KNOW there's something seeping through the internet tonight! LMAO! I don't know what else to do with myself. If there are any guarantees in life, one of them is that whenever I log on to SON, I will always argue with you and Cheap. ALWAYS!

Pardon me, while I re-evaluate my reason for posting!

[dragonflies]

Uh-oh you all agreed on something?

[ANDREA LOATHES REILLY]

THANK YOU THANK YOU and in case I forget...THANK YOU!!!!

Irina has Jax chained to a bed while having sex with a man who clearly refused her. EJ offered his help to Lucas in exchange for sex. Horrible position in which to be, but Sami agreed to have sex. EJ was not obligated to assist Sami, so he asked for payment. She could have said no at any time!

Let's try not to re-write the events...

Back to GH. Jax is being raped, and I want Luza's head on a stick!
