Some of you even mention if the roles were reversed, they would never do that on the show. But that's the point, adult men are the most likely to rape someone (be it a woman, man, girl, or boy), and it has been that way in many cultures for a long time. Again, not saying an adult man can't be raped by a woman, but as far as rape and sexual assult go, I think that is the least of our problems regarding this stuff. We have to solve the bigger problem first, how to get men to stop raping everybody. So while I appreciate everyone wanting to come to the defense of Graham, Robin, and WHook, let's keep in mind that they are not representative of the bigger societal problem. This is part of the problem

Assuming people do or don't things only because of their gender We need to recognize the parts genders play in society, whether people like it or not. And you need to recognize that diving issues into parts like you're trying to do is not appropriate. Nobody in this thread downplayed the fact that women are the major victims of sex crimes. You may feel that way, but I didn't, as no one was talking about it at all, other than bringing up recent Hollywood things, but one of those was Spacey, so that was a man violating men issue, so again not connected to the amount of women who have issues with rape/assult/etc. I'm glad you agree that women are the major victims of sex crimes, because that was one of the main things I wanted to make sure was getting across.
