If you would understand any one you must first walk a mile in that persons shoes. The essence of rape implies that the rapist considers women as mere things to use for his own self-gratification. The feeling of being used and degraded with which a women is left have no value or meaning, except to women and some very few enlightend men. To place an individual, a rapist, in a position which has the postential to make the rapist the raped is the point which would cause the rapist to inflict punishment on himself, psychologically at least. Sort of an eye for an eye situation. Jeanette Zobjeck
