Hooray to charisse on her article on rape. It was great. I posted
an article about rape in net.women some time ago concerning the
horrors of rape. Of course I received the expected flames from *men*
about my strong stand on the issue. It makes me happy that other
women out there feel as strongly as myself about the subject. I
think that the subject has been dealt with much too leniently in
the past and more women should speak out about such violent and
humiliating crimes that are still occuring against women in the
United States every day. What are the statistics now, a rape occurs
once in every how many minutes?  Sorry, I have not read the stats
for the day, but I know that it is that many, TOO many. Thanks 
again to charisse for speaking out. If more women did so, maybe
the attutude about the subject would change and not as many women
would have to go through the hell of it all.
