Discussion on the "Not Rape Epidemic"

Back on December of 2008, an essay titled "The Not Rape Epidemic" began making its way around the internet. I first found it on jezebel.com and followed it to the original post. The author describes the many, many ways women and girls are Not Raped but still sexual assaulted or coerced into sexual acts; particularly by older men and girls.

Megan, an editor at jezebel.com, offers a different view on the need for statutory rape laws (although she does not directly address the author's experience of the Not Rape piece.)

And TatianatheAnonymousModel at the same site wrote of the Not Rape epidemic in the modeling world.

Interesting reads.
