71. Respectfully, is it wrong to call rape sexual violence ? |
|
I think there are numerous ways to emotionally and physically hurt someone. That some perpetrators specialize in hurting with or through sex organs cannot be dismissed.
I have not been raped, but have studied rape as a part of a Ph.D. program and it seems that deny that sex is a part of rape is to deny why rape is especially hurtful and traumatizing to victims.
