That's right... the 100 lb weakling with her arms pinned against the asphalt
by the 200 lb guy who's got his weight over her so she can't move them at all.
Why are we still going around in circles?  There IS no defense in many cases.
The only way to end rape is for all the bigger more dominant men in the
world to recognize the simple fact that they haven't got the right to do that
to women.  Men have to respect women, and stop treating them like 2nd class
citizens.  The point is that rape is not a women's issue.  Women have very
little to do or say about it, because WOMEN CAN NEVER STOP RAPE!
Only MEN can STOP RAPE-ing.  Women don't have the strength nor power to stop it.
