sexual assault
If I never see the words "seduced," "had sex with," "affair," "forced her to have sex," and so on in a headline about a rape case again, it will be too soon.
date rape
It has recently come to my attention that some folks are having trouble when it comes to learning how not to rape, so I thought I would put together a little 101 for you in the interest of public service.

When you've finished reading this you'll know why I didn't report him. It was the wrong sort of rape and no one would have believed me.

outrage
The officer chuckled. "Frankly, there's nothing we can do." My eyes were wide with disbelief as I saw her fold up the paper she had been writing on and open the passenger door of the car. "And my suggestion?" she offered. "If you have the cash, take a cab home."

...and I've only recently realised quite how uncool her behaviour is...

I'm on a mission, people. Lets stop those deviant bum gropers in their tracks...
crimes against women
I feel strangely indifferent to my attacker. It's the system that let him get away with it that I'm most angry with
