I can't believe that any man would say that a man doesn't have complete control over his ability to stop at any point at all-is there some unstoppable otherworldly force controlling it, like the Star Wars force or something? That is an insult to men, and a cop out. And his other comment is also offensive, as if there is some sort of "non rape" in which the woman consents but changes her mind but it isn't real rape because the guy just can't stop himself and it's not violent and brutal. The notion that a rape has to be violent and brutal in order to be rape certainly "weakens the whole concept of rape". I am confused as to what he thinks "male advocacy" is. What exactly is he advocating?

"If a woman consents to having sex with a man but then during intercourse says no, and the man continues, is it rape?
The answer depends on where you live. The highest courts of seven states, including Connecticut and Kansas, have ruled that a woman may withdraw her consent at any time, and if the man doesn't stop, he is committing rape. Illinois has become the first state to pass legislation giving a woman that right to change her mind. But in Maryland--as well as in North Carolina--when a woman says yes, she can't take it back once sex has begun--or, at least, she can't call the act rape.
That was the recent ruling by Maryland's Court of Special Appeals in a case that may soon make its way to the state's highest court and that has captured the attention of feminists and legal experts across the country.."
