So many people (not necessarily here in this comm, I mean in general) have a rigid definition of rape: men can't possibly be raped, men can't be raped by women, women can't rape other women, etc, etc. I think the show is making one question one's definitions and preconceived notions, like it always does.
Yes! This, because I think it's time that people's defintions and preconceptions about rape are shook up. I have never believed that rape was just purely physical and I've always believed that it can and will happen to anyone at any particular time in their life, whether they be male, female, or if the same sex rapes another person of the same sex. So, thank you for pointing that out.
