Woman thankful that her rape was consensual

Even though she was initially horrified and shattered following the brutal sexual assault 3 months back which left her pregnant, victim Padmini (name changed) told the press people that she was relieved Friday to learn from  Congress spokesperson Dharambir Goyat in Haryana that her ability to conceive her unwanted child proves she was not, in fact, legitimately raped.

“Being violently coerced into having sex was the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, so I take comfort in knowing it wasn’t actually rape,” Padmini said of the horrifying and vicious encounter in which she was accosted in an isolated side street by strangers, pinned to the ground, and penetrated against her will for 25 minutes. “It was absolutely horrific—I felt violated in the worst way imaginable—but thanks to Congress spokesperson, I now realize it must, at some level, have been consensual after all.”

This was said by her after hearing a shocking and bizarre statement, the Congress leader had said, “I don’t feel any hesitation in saying that 90 per cent of the girls want to have sex intentionally but they don’t know that they would be gang raped further as they find some lusty and pervasive people in the way ahead,”

“Thank God for that,” Padmini added. “I’m so relieved to know that my child’s father, the man who muffled my screams as he forcefully penetrated me over and over and left me hemorrhaging to death on the street, is not a rapist.”

Explaining that the Congress leader's statements had “really opened her eyes” by helping her understand the workings of her own reproductive system, Padmini said she only wishes she could have known at the time of her near-fatal assault that the female body has ways to shut down conception during cases of tried-and-true rape.

“Now that I know the truth, I realize none of the telltale signs of legitimate rape were there at all,” mused Padmini, noting that her body did not in any way shut down but in fact continued to register excruciating pain throughout the entire cruel ordeal. “I must have at least subconsciously wanted it—otherwise, the sperm wouldn’t have been able to enter my body.”

“Not only is this knowledge a blessing for me,” she continued, “but it will no doubt bring great hope to the tens of thousands of women who are forcibly and savagely impregnated in India every year.”
