(47,675 posts)24. Yeah, there is that and it's a major problem. Male AND female. Major problem.
Well, to be honest, we've got way too many people in prison to begin with, rape aside. Private prisons are an enterprise in the country and the court system just feeds them fodder. Male or female, it's still a rape issue. Other prisoners or guards, same thing. I totally agree with you. Too many innocent people are in prison, and even more for possession of pot (which is silly). There's no way for incarcerated rape victims to get justice. It just doesn't happen.
Rape at any level is disgusting.

I don't think we're in disagreement there. I'm just saying that it's rape no matter what.

Well, maybe that would qualify for "legitimate rape" - I'll have to call Todd Akin to ask.

If it was a legitimate punch in the face, a woman's body has ways of avoiding it.
