WARNING: this post is going to be oh-so-very-triggery for victims of rape and sexual assault. I am not kidding.

Post 121280 by zombieflanders deleted for the following reason: The GOP are pretty terrible about rape, but at the same time Mefi is not a GOP Rape Shittiness blog and it feels like we've really had a lot of "let's talk about rape and people who are shitty about rape" posts. -- cortex

Post 121169 by silsurf deleted for the following reason: Hey, this is something that might good for your own blog, but Mefi posts need links to articles or something on the web instead of a write-up by the poster (or a straight wiki link), and the divshare links are also a problem.
