I'm not a victim of rape but I am bothered by the misuse of this term, like a lot of other people here who have also asked in a polite manner to cut it off once and for all. It is offensive, even for people who have never been through such experience, but if it has to be someone who's actually been raped, I know more than one person on here that could do it.
