First of all, I am sorry that you were ever harmed by anyone. No one should ever experience such a thing. However, I believe you are quite mistaken in the idea that one must first be raped in order to know that it is wrong. I assure you, I have never been raped, and I am perfectly certain that rape is wrong, as certain as is humanly possible. Frankly, anyone who does not know that rape is wrong has something very seriously wrong with them. One hopes that they will either get the medication they need, or will be locked up for the safety of society.
