8. Rape is rape. Period

Whether it happens as a hazing right of passage, or as a Navy tradition as the ships cross the equator or in jail or in your own family. It doesn't matter. It's rape and the psychological impact is just as profound.

That's why on DU people won't let a comment of rape in penitentiaries pass as some joke, or some wish pushed on another.

It's one of the reasons I love DU.
