17. Ron is a “responsible” rapist — he never rapes anyone without wearing a condom, and he does not carry a weapon. One night, he attempts to rape Lorena, telling her that he’ll be gentle and won’t hurt her as long as she doesn’t resist. He in fact uses no overt force as he puts on a condom and prepares to assault her. Lorena decides (reasonably under the circumstances) that the least deadly way to prevent intercourse is to use a knife she has hidden in her purse; she does so, and castrates Ron. Ron sues Lorena for battery. She defends on grounds of selfdefense.
