Not that this really matters much, but I tend to think of Violence
as a physical sort of thing.  I think Terror is the operative thing
in rape.  It happens that Violence is another way of inflicting
Terror.  Terrorizing someone can give sick people quite a rush.
I think "psychological violence" is probably a silly term.  I
think the reason Violence comes into the discussion is because
of the amount of psychological damage done to the victim.  Gee,
my thoughts were a little clearer to me a little while ago, but
I seemed to have lost it.  Oh, well.
