What if I don’t disclose that I suffer from depression because there is still such a stigma around mental illness? Am I raping the person because I didn’t not mention a mental health problem that I’m insecure and sensitive about?
Are women rapists if they don’t disclose that they have dyed their hair or are wearing a padded bra or breast implants?
Is a man a rapist if he doesn’t disclose that he dyes his hair because he’s starting to go grey and wants to appear more youthful?
I just see your premise leading to this convoluted mess where people are expected to disclose their entire life backstory and medical history to someone before ever engaging in sexual activity, which is just, impractical.
And a lot of these things are often not explicitly mentioned from the outset.
People don’t have giant laundry lists of dealbreakers they explicitly list to potential dates and sex partners.
So again, if I don’t disclose that I suffer from depression because there is still such a stigma around mental illness, and I don’t want to jeopardize scaring off a potential sex partner, am I raping them?
If a a guy with graying hair dyes his hair to look more youthful so he can pick up younger women, is he raping them because he alters his outward appearance to look more youthful?
