One woman believes “being brave and fighting” is the best answer to her question about how to handle being raped. But does it always work?

That is a tough question. Our instincts tell us as humans to fight but when it comes to being raped logically it's better to just go with the flow. You are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.

Rape isn't about the sex, it's about the domination and the control. In a lot of cases, not fighting robs a rapist of that satisfaction, since defeating a fighting person is the entire point of the act. However, often angering the rapist in this way will lead to a swift death. Then again, the rapist might intend to be a rapist/murderer, so perhaps fighting free is the only way to survive the encounter at all. It certainly isn't a decision I would like to be forced to make.
It has been said that a good way to deter a rapist is to soil oneself, and vomit if possible, thus making oneself completely unappealing, given how most people feel about excrement.

Depends on if you are in a public place or hidden away in a locked room. If you could expect help, then fight, scream and do everything to escape, or hurt your attacker. If there isno one around and the attacker is armed with knife or gun, it may be better to grin and take it rather than risk physical injury. Then again, the physical injury will heal a lot quicker than will the mental angusih of being penetrated by such a person that would make you vomit to look upon them in the light of day.
Get a firearms permit and learn how to use a gun. Blow that rascal away or at least shoot him in the groin.

Tough question to answer. I believe that a rapist is not of sound mind so it would be very difficult to give a sound answer.
It would totally depend on the circumstances,therefore any action taken by the victim cannot be criticized.

Is it ever wise to not fight a rapist?

no it is not wise because he will over power his victim and could seriously hurt them. Instead wait for an opening and knee him in the balls and scratch him so you can get away. The scratch will insure that they find him because you now have his DNA under your fingernails.
