I disagree completely with you there, Jeanette.  I think there are times
(rather than women) when submitting is more appropriate, like if the 
rapist is holding a gun to your head, or a knife to your throat.

I disagree also with Neal.  The points are to stay alive and not be raped,
but if both cannot be attained, then the point will be to stay alive.
