As a verb I think it can mean either rape or consuming, passionate love. Talk about bridging the spectrum

Not surprised.

I typed out a reply but it got eaten up.

I came back from some major examination and there are now three pages of replies in light of my comment.

Firstly, I never said that rape is excusable. But perhaps I did not make my point clear. I hope I can clean things up now.

No one took notice of my first line, 'Rapists ought to be punished severely for their crime'. I detest men who outrage the modesty of females. But this world is made up so many, many, many men.

I grew up with the mentality that men are dirty things. They think of sex a lot. Men are such visual creatures. Therefore ladies should do their part to protect themselves. I was fed with that kind of thinking since young.

I hope I didnt conjure up some major misunderstanding.

So Nao, your comment was more that women should take a part in their own protection and not rely soley on the control of the men who might see them?

Ravished is rape with consent....rape where the woman doesn't say no, but breathes yes, yes, yes.....fulfilling unspoken fantasies.
Women fantasize about being ravished by pirates and outlaws and bikers. Hell, don't you ever read the dime novels.... men write?

We do?

HellsBells--I thought that kind of thinking went out with the seventies--and, no matter how you dress it up, "ravished" means "raped".

Ever read Joyce Carol Oates--MAN CRAZY? Might be interesting for you. Just a random thought.

Transitive verb
ravish

1-To seize and carry away by violence; to snatch by force.
2-To transport with joy or delight; to delight to ecstasy.
3-To have carnal knowledge of somebody (male or female) by force and against their consent; to rape

After checking 18 dictionaries, about half are hip enough to put the rape meaning 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

Besides, who ya gonna believe, me or some stupid book. :p

I think the "official" name is "A Hunt Club." I was skating roller derby at the roller rink next door to it for a while. I am not sure on the unofficial name, though.

I'll bet we know some of the same people.
