I take very strong offence to the analogy of being mishandled on the dancefloor, or being slandered by email as in any way constituting 'rape'. Any woman (or man) who has ever been raped will probably feel that the misuse of this term trivializes the brutality and violence of the act of rape. Let's just call thngs what they are, and not resort to sensationalism, please.
