Thread Name: Rape
Subject: RE: Rape
It is appalling to me that this shit still happens------everywhere. Not just in "other" countries, but in yours too. Whatever country you live in. Rape has never been about SEX, it has always been about POWER.

Unfortunately, castration or chemical castration won't stop it---if the animal doesn't have a penis to rape with he will find something else---lots worse.

Whatever it takes to stop it------maybe just this one is worth that. Several years ago I read a book (Not Without My Daughter/s?) that detailed the trials and troubles of an American woman who married an Iranian man. Horrible stuff. Honor killings for speaking to American men, major clitorectomies............

Thank you for the song, Larry. Sing it as often as possible.
