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. Honey, what is your point? The show has shown men getting raped since season one. My point is the writers aren't conserned with adult men getting raped, and I think that is because an adult man getting raped by a woman is a very small problem. Is it trivializing the actual issue a bit, sure, but the issue isn't that common to begin with.
