A 22-year-old woman in Bergen, Norway, has been charged with raping a man in his late 30s, marking a notable case as it is the first of its kind in the police district. The incident involved another man who allegedly took photos during the attack and has been charged as an accessory. The discussion surrounding the case has sparked significant debate about the definitions of rape and consent, particularly regarding male victims. Some participants argue that a man cannot be raped by a woman, while others assert that any sexual act without consent constitutes rape, regardless of the genders involved. The conversation also touches on societal perceptions of male victims and the complexities of consent, especially in cases involving incapacitation due to sleep or intoxication. The dialogue reflects a broader struggle to understand and address sexual violence, emphasizing the need for serious consideration of all victims' experiences.
