when rape is not rape: "Female prison guard from Gastonia charged with having sexual activity with an inmate"

Your analysis sounds about right to me.

For context:

Per capita there is more rape by fellow inmates in womens prisons. Per capita there is more rape by female guards than male guards in prisons. Rape by men is seen as one of the most horrific crimes. Rape by women is swept under the rug.

To study nonconsensual sex among the incarcerated, the authors draw on data collected by the Bureau of Justice Statistics under the Prison Rape Elimination Act. (Their paper focuses on surveys of previously incarcerated inmates in state prisons; Stemple told me that the patterns they related are similar to data collected from those held in a broad range of prisons and jails.) Noting the high prevalence of “sexual victimization committed by female staff members and female inmates,” the authors report that women are “much more likely to be abused” by other women inmates than by male staff.

They add that “for women prisoners and girls in detention, staff perpetrators are overwhelmingly male, and for men and boys the staff perpetrators are overwhelmingly female.” Women are disproportionately represented among all staff abusers because men and boys are so disproportionately incarcerated overall.

Among adults who reported sexual contact with prison staff, including some contact that prisoners call “willing” but that is often coercive and always illegal, 80 percent reported only female perpetrators. Among juveniles, the same figure is 89.3 percent. Queer men and women were two to three times more likely to report abuse. “The disproportionate abuse by female staff members does not occur because women are more often staffing facilities,” the authors write. “Men outnumber women by a ratio of three to one in positions requiring direct contact with inmates.”

Then there’s the finding that surprised me most:

...while it is often assumed that inmate-on-inmate sexual assault comprises men victimizing men, the survey found that women state prisoners were more than three times as likely to experience sexual victimization perpetrated by women inmates (13.7 percent) than were men to be victimized by other male inmates (4.2 percent) (Beck et al., 2013).

It is always the same in the media. Women don't commit rape, they "have a relationship with a minor", "have sex with a minor", "have sexual activity with a minor" or "are seduced by a minor".

The are all rape enablers. My stomach turns.

To be fair it's not clear whether or not it was consensual. There is obviously the power dynamic to consider, but that is only one factor. It's wholly possible it was rape, but it may not have been as well. This article isn't exactly chock full of facts.

I think there is a channel on pornhub that delves into this exact same issue.

No sexual activity is when the boy is just 14 years old....

This was a grown man so it was a loving intimate relationship between an innocent kind prison guard and a bad toxic prisoner

"sexual activity" and "sex" is so often used when its a woman *raping* a man, the wording is simply sickening because of how easily theyre downplaying a heinous crime.
