272. While I understand your point, we can't honestly talk about rape...
...if we're limited by necessary terminology. People lose their spouses on Thanksgiving, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't say the word, or that Thanksgiving is somehow a bad thing because of it.

Call it sex, coitus, fucking, whatever, sometimes that's why people rape. It isn't just an act of violence. That's simply not true, and lying about it is doing nothing to stop rape.
