Sweden's highest court has thrown out Julian Assange's appeal against his arrest warrant where he is wanted for questioning. Prosecutor Marianne Ny changed her mind earlier about questioning Assange in London. Assange has repeatedly requested that the questioning take place over the phone or in London as per common practice, to avoid traveling to Sweden where he fears he risks extradition to the US. Sweden has also repeatedly refused to give assurances regarding possible extradition.

    "rape" here means someone forcibly chatting with you when you are after another man. Or losing a chance to sleep with another (richer) man.

    Its similar to the definition for "holocaust", where holocaust also means being made to work: "OMG! I've been working the whole week! My hands are now tired. Its a holocaust", etc.

    Uh no. It means agreeing to use a condom and then in the middle of the night initiating sex with a still sleeping person without a condom.
