I just read(with dismay) the letter by "Ray" about knowing few women who hve notbeen raped.  Besides finding that statement very hard to believe, I wonder how
he feels about it(assuming his statement is true).  If this is the case, then
maybe he has some ideas about how to change the situation.  I do not feel that
the problem is as severe as he states but any problem is too much.  Somehow
stereotypes and incorrect perceptions need to be changed in order to eliminate
the problem all together.   How can this be done?  I have  few ideas but I wouldbe interested in hearing your comments/reactions/ideas first.
