The fact is, is that you're not going to stop people from using the word. I agree with Eve and Taln. It is not a word that should be used as slang or casually, Rape is a very serious and harmful thing. Thing like that should not be made light of. I feel in a way you consent it when you use it lightly, this applys to both men and women. When you make words like rape, cute and funny, you take away the meaning and change the connotation of the word. And eventually seeing or hearing about the action dosen't affect you as much, if at all. Sometimes it even turns around.


For example. Take the word kill, it's used very lightly. Yet it is one of the most terrible crimes a person can commit. I'll admit I myself use the word much too lightly.
