    No, and please stop calling everything rape, it’s diminishes the impact, and that only benefits rapists.

    Yes, if you read the article, rape is part of it, but there’s also a lot of other vile and abusive acts and tactics listed, but they aren’t all rape. In fact, a lot of the rise is actual homicide of pregnant women. So is murder now considered rape as well?

    My point is, if everything is called rape, then nothing is, and suddenly it becomes much easier to dismiss claims of actual rape, which I don’t think is anyone’s interest, except rapists
