Re: Legitimate rape

What is a legitimate rape? Simply this: A rape that actually occurred, as in giving no consent to sexual intercourse; against the women's will. That is, not a sexual encounter that one merely regrets later -- as feminists encourage its definition to be on college campuses.

I dearly hope, Jo, that you read MacDonald's piece on this issue. It's long, but worth the time. Because if we are going to have a loooong discussion over semantics, with people getting outraged over the use of language ... well, I might as well give up now and declare victory for why MacDonald's piece was necessary.
