and stated emphatically that they were offended by them. Not offended by the "pile on" you allege, but by the very existence of rape PSAs.

And, as 15-20% of all American women have been raped at least once (Prevalence, Incidence, and

No. It's about the very common practice of expecting women to limit their lives to "prevent" rape. dawg day Aug 2019 #8
