Thanks, Wolfgang. Robinia, very interesting. I point you towards Pepe le Piew (or however it's spelled) for another look at rape in entertainment. However, I don't think the "he looked into the window" ever wins over the "she looked out of the window" - whereas in pepe le pew, at the end, the girl cat is always in some position where she can no longer get away from pepe, and since she hasn't fought till then, one is left with the distinct impression that she is **** out of luck.

I find myself minding anything where the male refuses to take No for an answer. But then again, there is a fine line between seduction and not taking No for an answer... and I am all for seduction, much more romantic than just deciding to hop into bed without being seduced. Or is seduction always a bad thing? Does the word imply anything negative to anyone else? In song or story?
