Phoney, phoney, phoney......you pick the most interesting things to say.
Whatever are we gonna do with you? :P
   Anyway, that had to be one of the stupidest questions I have ever heard
in my life. It's tramatic, you dolt! People's psyches are geared very
closely with sex, and rape is about the ultimate form of humilliation and
degradation. The mental impact packs a hell of a wallop.
   Sufice it to say, it was a dumb thing to ask.
   On the other hand....Phoney didn't say rape wasn't so bad, or that it
was good, or even that physical pain was worse. He just asked a question,
abeit a dumb one. Let's not get out the knife and castrate him quite yet.
The day that asking a sincere, non-rhetorical question is wrong is the day
I go in for an ethics review. Explain to him in clear terms why it is
worse, and he's (hopefully) be corrected. Insulting him serves no real
purpose; it probably doesn't persuade or inform him to know better.
   Anyway, 'nuff said.
