I can't speak for everyone here but personally, if the genders were reversed and Abe tried to cross the river to see his bae Gregorella, and he had to have sex with a female riverboat captain to get across, my rankings would be exactly the same

But what if he had to have sex with a male riverboat captain?

In that scenario, Gregorella would have to be accept her boyfriend's bisexual promiscuity, otherwise she's a bigot

Mike @ 15/3/2018 9:11 Anyone else concerned that all these morality based polls are actually psychological tests and that Curtis is gradually building a profile on each of us, to be presented publicly at the end of the week? Not a coincidence that I haven’t posted my answer for either of these

I have noticed that, sir!

How could anyone not list the rapist as the worst one?

They are all pretty poor decision makers, except the mom. The guy who raped the girl via coercion is the worst. the mom is the best, the rest are tied. All dumbasses who had one of those expensive learning experiences.

its not rape if it's consensual

Hm, I didn't read "rape" in that story at all.

1. Abigail, several issues with her.
2. Sinbad
3. John
4. Elizabeth
5. Gregory

Unless you want to place some blame on Gregory for not coming to her? then flip he and mom

is he a rapist? He asked for sex in return for getting her across the river. He didn't force her. And he held up his part of the bargain. Was it gross? Sure. But she made the choice.

the mother did nothing, which like I said, is probably what most people would do in a situation like that. Except, this was her own child. She didn't even try to help.

Coercion is rape.

You know it’s a good POTD when rape needs to be carefully defined

It's not rape to me, but I can see how it would be coherension. I just don't think it is.

He didn't force or threaten her though. He named his price. She refused, left and later went back to take the deal, to get what she wanted.

"Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration carried out against a person without that person's consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority, or against a person who is incapable of giving valid consent."
