There's a dictionary definition of rape, but some people still struggle to comprehend what nonconsensual sex means [1]. Enter Nafisa Ahmed, a Twitter user who posted a flawless analogy to explain what rape means by comparing it to stealing a $5 bill ("You lent my friend $5, so I can borrow it as well"). Check out her tweets ahead; they've gone viral with thousands of retweets and favorites each.

I don't get how rape is so hard to understand for some men. But, if you put it like this, they get it:

If you ask me for $5, and I'm too drunk to say yes or no, it's not okay to then go take $5 out of my purse... Just because I didn't say no.

If you put a gun to my head to get me to give you $5, you still stole $5. Even if I physically handed you $5.

If I let YOU borrow $5, that doesn't give the right for your FRIEND to take $5 out of my purse.
"But you gave him some, why can't I?"

If you steal $5 and I can't prove it in court, that does NOT mean you didn't steal $5.

Just because I gave you $5 in the past, doesn't mean I have to give you $5 in the future.

If you can understand alllllll of that, how do you not understand the concept of rape?

Ok, rant over. Times like this are good because it lets me know which men to avoid spend any time with or in the vicinity of.

And to think a man said "Well she sat on his lap & went to his house." Okay, if I ask you to hold my purse, does that mean you can take $?

This is not the first time someone has related rape to stealing. Another Twitter user, Caitlin Kelly, posted a similar string of tweets in 2014 where she compared conversations about rape to a stolen wallet [11]. While it's unfortunate that Ahmed's and Kelly's comparisons are even necessary, hopefully they'll contribute to the further understanding of rape.
