   I too applaud charisse, and I do so from a man's point of view.  Too
often men can not 'see' or appreciate all of the ramifications of a rape,
because they can not see it happening to their own physical person.  I can
not even claim full knowledge of what rape does to a woman.  My knowledge
only comes second hand, and even then it took a concerted effort on my part
along with all of the sensitivity and understanding I could muster.  The act
of rape horrifies me, but to think that someone out their is trying to make
it into a 'trivial or frivolous' act scares me.  I hope that there are not
too many more men out there that hold the same attitude.
