Just another little sign of how alarmingly believable those figures were.
Last night I was chatting to a friend, and someone we knew had been raped for the second time. Sad, isn't it?

Good point Melusine. I think for "normal" thinking guys it's just not done. Normally it doesn't take much for a guy to overpower a woman, so i think most guys considder this just not a very manly thing to do. You know what happens to rapists in prison right ? They have to be separated from the rest because they will get killed.

To keep the ratio at 5%, there are between 1:400 and 1:1200 rapes per year, cosidering births, death aging and all. I could be more accurate but im working with estimates here. These figures are still shocking - higher than i thought - but believable. In any case the exact figures dont matter - there is no "acceptable" level of rape - one is one to many. And, unless someone has a method of ensuring a re-offence rate of zero, one rapist is one too many.

Well Melusine, to me rape is just the most horrific crime a guy can commit, because I know I'm terrified it might happen to some one I know, my friend, my sister or cousin. The idea of someone abusing them or hurting them not only terrifies me but also makes me furious, call it what you want, I think it as something to do with caring...

Although I would beg to differ that it really *is* better to be raped than to have a loved one raped, I can see why people would react like that.
