If stealthing (non-consensual removal of a condom) is rape, so should lying about being on birth control

The only difference between the two is that the women is actively trying to deceive by lying about birth control, whereas the guy might be doing it because he "doesn't like how they feel". I'm not saying I condone stealthing, you should absolutely ask before you do it. But I don't think it should be considered rape, and neither should lying about birth control. Its an unspoken rule that if a woman has to say "I'm on birth control, don't worry about it" you should still wear a condom anyways. <br><br>Edit: To the people saying its impossible to know 100% if a person is on birth control, please see: birth control cards. That aside, there is no way for a woman to know 100% a condom is on during the act, but stealthing is still a crime. Women don't always know or can't always tell the last time a person had an STI screening, but its the on the guy to prove otherwise. Its not about "making sure" or trying to confirm, its about making a reasonable effort. If you ask your partner to wear a condom and they refuse because they "dont like how they feel" you say no and walk away. If your partner asks you to get an STI screening before having sex and you refuse, its a giant red flag. <br><br>Edit2: nobody should be having sex with someone they don't trust. Trust and communication are the most important things in any relationship, and if yours doesn't have them, you should fix that or end things. Not trying to sound like an anti-sex crusader or anything.
