EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON THE CONTROVERSIAL EPISODE ?

Yes - It is 強姦 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? No - It's not 強姦

It is 強姦. Elizabeth says no to Ross three times. She tries to resist him 肉体的に. He has his way.

Joanna Trollope, 小説家

They show a woman enjoying 強姦 ? one of the most 損失ing myths about 強姦. It’s really pernicious.?

Julie Bindel, anti-強姦 選挙運動者

It would not be out of place in a porn film… a strong man, and a woman who resists but wants it really.?

Sarah Green, End 暴力／激しさ Against Women 連合

In the scene, Elizabeth and Ross have a fiery 遭遇（する） which 結論するs with a consensual 行為／法令／行動する.

Karen Thrussell, Poldark 生産者

It seems consensual and it seems 権利… he doesn’t 軍隊 himself upon her.?

Heart-throb actor Aidan Turner, who plays Ross Poldark??

As soon as he 押し進めるs her on the bed, she arches her neck and returns his kisses and is all into it. It’s not 強姦.?

Donna Dawson, 関係 pyschologist?

小説家 Joanna Trollope （刑事）被告 the BBC of trying to ‘have their moral cake and eat it’.

‘It looks as if the 生産者s of Poldark were so desperate to 保護する Aidan Turner’s heart-throb status, that they overlooked how repellently Ross Poldark behaves in this episode. And it is 強姦.

‘Elizabeth says no to Ross three times. She tries to resist him 肉体的に and says, “You would not dare”. He has his way, and then she is shown 降伏するd and abandoned to him ? inferring that it’s what she 手配中の，お尋ね者 all along.

‘Whatever the BBC 抗議するs, to my mind this scene 増強するs the convenient and mistaken opinions that 抵抗 only inflames male 願望（する）, and that 存在 overpowered is the ultimate 女性（の） 性の fantasy. You can’t, BBC or anyone else, have your moral cake and eat it.’
