    %ESCAPE BROAD DEFINITION RAPE SEXUAL FOCUS GAIN+960601

     Rape  involves the use of another person (as  a  tool
for personal gain,  advantage,  pleasure,  etc.)   without
being involved in a  truly  intimate relationship which is
characterized by:

     1.  Honest dialogue including careful listening,
     2.  Balanced power,
     3.  Mutuality in vulnerability, cost, advantage and
   desire,
     4.  Gentleness, respect compassion, empathy.

     Such  a broad definition is not likely to  gain  wide
popularity because of the number of respected and powerful
people  who would be recognized as rapists under the broad
definition.   Most macho leaders in business, politics and
religion are likely to be ambivalent towards such a  broad
definition---because  they fear how revealing it would  be
in regards to their attitudes, ideas, ideals and values.
