Rape can be a violent act -- with the woman as the victim. A terrible crime.
But sometimes "rape" is a political tool -- and the man is the victim.

A terrible crime.

Yep. Frankly, I think that it's been trivialized on campuses and elsewhere in society.

Rape (or 'rape-rape', as Whoopi G'berg would put it) is a horrific crime that traumatizes women for life and those who commit it should be locked away forever. However, hollering "rape" because you regret what you did when you wake up the next morning, is equally horrific for the accused.

Ditto sexual harassment. "Sleep with me or you're fired" is horrible for the victim. "I overheard a joke that he told in breakroom when I was in a meeting room three doors over and I feel victimized for it", is a career limiter for the accused.

Unfortunately, there are many who don't make any distinctions, and who are all too ready - excited even - for the opportunity to jump on the bandwagon and encourage others to do the same.
