You know people that >playact rape? I don't know what your question has to do with soc.feminism, but I'm going to answer your question where it was asked. I know people who like S&M, and they playact rape. The assumption that a woman can't enjoys this kind of games (either as the "victim" or as the "rapist") is unfounded. Female sexuality is, basically, as broad as male sexuality, and some women have enough strength to act in a different way than the way that "good women" are supposed to act. I suggest you to read the book "Coming to Power"; it gives a good look into some of the variants (rape fantasies included) in female sexuality.
