I have no idea if you've ever been a victim of rape, or sexual assault, but this poster responding to you, seems to think you have been, and therefore thinks your opinion is based in emotion, not factual. Ie, a victim of such a thing could never really hold an unbiased opinion.

This is pissing me off to no end!
