When I was in college over 25 years ago, a professor announced to his class that he would be screening the movie A Clockwork Orange to compliment our reading of the novel. A fellow student, a young woman, went literally bananas. Her charge was that the movie made "light of rape."

As the day of the screening approached, she repeated this charge to every one she met. She was incredulous that this film was going to be exhibited at a liberal arts college.

No one shared her outrage.

She eventually dropped the class and transferred to another college.

I have seen that movie. Not only does it not “make light of rape”, it was one of the most horrifying scenes that I have ever seen. I tried to leave the theatre, but an usher stopped me at the door and begged me to stay. I stayed, but have never forgotten.
