21	481	It is almost always understood, of course, fortunately for women, and as I suppose the phrase itself makes clear, in the special legal sense of the phrase, as having to do with overt behavior rather than psychological predispositions and such.	10
21	483	But even taken in the appropriate, legal behavioral sense the phrase is, as may well be imagined, subject to diverse interpretations.	10
21	488	In most cities such things are taken for granted, the natural rightfulness of slavery for females, and such, and are accordingly seldom regarded as germane with respect to the legal imposition of a sentence of bondage.	10

21	829	One common difference between rape on Earth and rape on Gor is that rape on Earth is usually over with quickly, and is unlikely to be succeeded by social and legal consequences to the enjoyed woman, whereas rape on Gor may prove to be, and often is, a prelude to enslavement.	10
21	853	Many of the takings of slaves by their own master are, or approximate, rape, incidentally, except, of course, that they not rape in the legal sense, for the slave is rightless and the master possesses all rights to her.	10
21	854	In this sense, the expression 'slave rape', often applied to many things which a master may do to a slave, and however he wishes, whether, say, with casual disdain or brutal swiftness, or with great ingeniousness, and care, and patience, at his leisure, seldom signifies legal rape.	10
21	856	It can be applied to legal rape, of course, in certain contexts, as when a free woman, to her horror, finds herself being treated as a bond maid, even to the extent of being subjected to "slave rape".	10

1	147	To be sure, in one sense the names are different, as the free woman has the name in her own right as a legal person and the slave has the name in virtue of her master's right, to put it on her if he pleases, like an ankle ring or collar.	10

3	121	There will then be nothing inappropriate, even from the legal point of view, in their wearing such ornaments, assuming that they have their master's permission.	10

19	474	"But then," I said, "many also believe that the free woman and the slave are the same, except for a legal technicality".	10
19	1521	"Certainly in a technical, legal sense," I said.	10
19	1549	"Your experience was not conditioned by the categoricality of bondage, by the reality of it, and the slave's knowledge of that reality, by the full belonging of the slave to her master, so to speak, and her understanding, legal, and personal, and such, of that full belonging.	10
24	127	A slave, of course, being a domestic animal, cannot sign papers, not in a legal sense, no more than a tarsk or sleen.	10
28	699	This, too, incidentally, is the legal understanding of the saying, as any other interpretation would be inconsistent with the master's absolute ownership of the slave.	10

39	93	Indeed, at that time, she had not even been a legal slave, the legalities of her condition, to her distress, given what had been done to her, and what she had become, being denied to her by her master.	10
