Something didn't work on your post, my dear ;)

Of course the definitions of rape in these cases are usually so broad that unwelcome snuggling (by someone that you wouldn't mind snuggling with most of the time but you got a fever or a bad cold at the moment) gets called RAPE by the statistic taker.

Lying with statistics is a time-honored propaganda technique. And actual rape victims - the ones that really do feel the humilation, pain and guilt of a rape can't get help because there are so many "rape" victims that filled out a survey and put "had sex with husband in the middle of the night because he was horny and I was too tired to slap him, so I laid there and faked it for five minutes to get some sleep." in the answers.

That doesn't make sense. The statistics and statistics gatherers aren't taking away resources from anybody.

Did you go read the posts, anyway?
