I agree it's an "offensive topic" which we need not discuss.
I do however, feel for the fellow(s) said to be condoning or making light
of *rape* for having brought it up/discussed it.
That's a very, very serious personal attack which I do not feel was
justified under the circumstances.
I realize I come from San Francisco, yadda yadda, but I've personally met
female non-porn stars who've organized such events for themselves. Well,
one anyway, & heard tell of several others.
They certainly weren't trying to break any records (we're talking small
scale), but neither were they planning auto-mass-rape.
