Are you suggesting the old rape is not about sex meme that is mainstream right now? I've always had a problem with that. It's like saying that a bank robbery isn't about money.
I was a criminal justice major for awhile and during that time I was reading true crime books. In one they interviewed a rape victim who brought up that meme and said it was garbage. She stated something to the effect that he didn't break in and make me beat my cat or write bad checks, he broke in to f$&@ me. After I read that is when I started thinking more critically on the rape is not about sex story.
