Rape is a heinous crime and as far as I’m concerned any man guilty of rape should have his “family jewels” sawn off with a rusty knife.

However a huge percentage of rape victims, male and female, find it exceptionally difficult to confide in their ordeal with close family or friends let alone report the incident to the police. I was just taken aback that this woman wants to make a movie out her ordeal. In the abysmal “celebrity at all costs” culture that exists today it would not be unheard of for someone to embelish their experience a little, use a few lefty jems for sale-ability (army = evil, hallibuton = evil) and hey-presto a terrible tragedy is suddenly a career move! That kind of dilutes the sympathy vote a bit as far as I’m concerned.
