rape as entertainment for all. we are told that it is just showing reality and must be graphic, explicit in order to feel the emotions of the victim. yet i have seen no entertainment rape of man on man. scene that last long for titillation purposes and allowing men in the audience feel the uncomfortable horror of male rape. nor do we see graphic, explicit child rape.

the only rape we must view as gruesomely and explicitly as media can create, is the rape of women.
