Rape is a physical attack, not a sexual one. Rape crisis counselors and researchers define rape as, "an act of violence in which sex is used as a weapon" (Warshaw, 1988, P.11). A woman is raped in this country every two minutes. Between 1996 and 1999, 7,787,000 rapes were reported. The actual number is much, much higher because only 26% of rapes are reported. Husbands or boyfriends assaulted 28% of these women, 35% of these women were raped by people they knew; 1 in 4 of these rapes took place in a public place (Ledray, 1986, P.158).

Rape is ... fantasized about by pubescent 13 and 14 year-olds because they know that rape is the only way they could get a woman into their pants. A simple cure for this problem is to stop being such bastards and to close all of the internet porn accounts they made after stealing their parents' credit cards. Another cure is to stop telling people they have 2" dicks.
