Aernout Zevenbergen: thanks for your comment. I was very moved by the "man who was raped in prison" and was determined to get past it. Then I realized how many women are raped on a daily basis, with little if any support to "get past it." All over the world. It wasn't until about 20 years ago in this country that women didn't have to be "virgens" to make a claim of rape, and they were still held "responsible" for things as simple as the hidden undergarments they wore. No hero worship there!
I know this from personal experience when it happened to me. And when women are raped, they aren't just "ganged banged" by a bunch of guys. Their lives are also threatened. When will it all end? How to "accept" this without getting POLITICAL?
