Many have you have said some very interesting things.
I don't know if I could say one would be harder to deal with than the other. I've known far to many women who have been raped (sexually assulted...it's not called rape in Canada) and I can see how hard it is for them. Even years after the incident they still struggle with it every day.
James, I think it's horrible that you feel that some of the women need to rethink their views on rape. I agree with AGDee, I don't think you truely understand that trauma that comes along with rape. But I also don't expect you to. Men approach sexual assult from very different angles as I have observed.
A male friend of mine told me a story about how he got too drunk at a party and passed out. When he woke up a female was on top of him performing oral sex on him. He told me her pused her off and then went back to the party. When he told me this story the first thing that came to mind was how he had just been sexually assulted. I told him this and he just laughed it off, as if it's something that happens and it's no big deal. If that were me I would have called the police. Men approach it differently. Somethime I think men feel they cannot be raped/sexually assulted. Men are less likely to report a rape because of feelings like this. But it's not acceptable at anytime by anyone.
Instead of telling us to rethink our argument about date rape, maybe it's you who should rethink yours.
