I'll tell you something MUCH scarier and will repeat it as many times as it takes to get it through to the likes of Ray Frank: Current statistics is that 50% of women have been/will be raped AT LEAST once in her lifetime. Unoficial data from women's action/defence and feminis groups states that in USA 3 out of 4 women get raped. Only a small percentage of those rapes get reported. An even smaller percentage gets into courts. I use word "RAPE" for a situation in which a participant is taking part in a sexual act against her/his will. This includes oral, anal, genital sex and a few other less frequent practices. This also includes cases of a husbands forcing his wife to perform a sexual act. Marriage is NOT an ownership license and does NOT entitle either spouse to demand sex from another! It is sad that in society where men are a minority, men dominate all social and political institutions and IGNORE most problems of the female majority. DISCLAMER: I am NOT a feminist. I hate to see blatant injustices! -- Disclamer: My employers go to church every Sunday, listen to Country music, and donate money to GOP. I am just a deviant. ----------------------------------+ Don't bother, I'll find the door, "Only through a violent revolution| Oleg Kiselev. can the existing order be pre- |...!{trwrb|scgvaxd}!felix!birtch!oleg served..."-Perfect Student Union |...!{ihnp4|randvax}!ucla-cs!uclapic!oac6!oleg
