The problem is that it was glossed over and everyone conveniently forgot about Graham. But that doesn't mean the writers think it's okay for a woman to rape a man. They just don't realize that an event like that is important and should not be ignored.

Of course, you have to realize that mainly kids watch this show. Idk why they even had Regina rape Graham in the first place, though. Well, I hope we all know the show doesn't support rape, but they sort of present a twisted morality at times. The whole problem is that it's pretty much glossed over at every point. Even "adultery" (which is what they made it seem like) was pretty much trivialized with Snow, the paragon of goodness, daying, "You've slept with a married man, so have I" when those situations aren't at all the same.

They had Regina "rape" Graham for the same reason that they had Reegina mass murder an entire villiage "roughly" onscreen....to show how evil she is. The writers seem to want their cake and eat it to when it comes to evilness.

We shouldn't ne all up in arms against Zelena and her being imprisoned versis Regina being guilty of the same crime. It's pretty much saying that if you aren't family to the Chamring clan, sucks for you. Also, if you are powerless and without magic, you will and will always be punished and if you have powerful magic, weel, we let you escape or don't even try apprehending you.
