I'd take the loss.  (I don't get paid extra for overtime, and I have
no insurance.)  It may be that this is all a rape victim can do.

My argument was ridiculous.  It was identical with her argument.
That's the point of it.

A lot of people are casually assuming that sex is not part of what
motivates a rapist.  How do you know?  Do you have studies to back
this belief up, or do you merely go along and believe because it's
the politically correct thing to believe?

>All opinions are my own      (I think?)

That hint of doubt is a healthy sign.
