I shared the same views as you once, but then I thought about it.
How many times have you heard of a man being raped?
And I mean a full grown man who's not in prison and not some 15 year old school kid who wanted it and his parents found out and charged his teacher with rape.
Last time I heard anything vaguely similar was a plot on NYPD Blue. Most guys would look at being raped by a woman and, as long as it wasn't at knife point, say "Hey...I just had sex...forced on me, but I had sex, nonetheless."
Granted there should have been something in there about how if anyone makes you feel uncomfortable in any way you should proceed to drive their face into a brick wall with a sledgehammer, I think Kev and Jen covered it all.
Violence against anyone is wrong, but violence against anyone weaker than you is unnecessary. Rapists do not count as people in my book, and should be beaten to death in public by the rapee. And that goes for both male and female rapists, because I've heard of girls forcing themselves on other girls as well.
Anywho...rant ended. Grow up, take everything Kev says at face value and assume it goes for everyone, not just the specified party.

Personally, I consider myself lucky to NOT know anyone that was raped.
