I’m a little too frustrated about this/in need of dinner before class to be coherent. Kate may be.
In the meantime, Cara underlines the most important point:
Actually, it is highly common for a woman to have sex with a man after he has assaulted her. It’s called denial. When a friend rapes you, and he didn’t punch you in the face to make it happen, chances are you want to believe that it was all a big misunderstanding. Realizing that you’ve been raped by a friend, your boyfriend or your husband is extremely painful. It’s wrong. You don’t want it to be real. Also, we have idiots like Mac Donald writing for nationally distributed new papers, who say that the rape most women experience doesn’t count as rape.
EDIT: Also, here.
EDIT #2: And on the 25% statistic, see here.
