She's desperate to convince you that analogy is invalid; that one can't compare a personal violation with a collective violation; because the collective violation; well it doesn't come with very real and very personal, individual consequences....You would ask someone to recall, in writing, something that terrible? For the sake of an argument?
One thing's for sure, you've never even known anyone who has been the victim of rape or you wouldn't go there.
If it makes you happy, America isn't being raped. It's being invaded by it's own.
No. In fact I DON'T want anyone to actually recall their accounts of being raped.
Nor do I want a shift in American politics be compared to rape.
Do you see?
Two points...
1. He.
2. I'm not saying that the analogy is invalid...rather I'm saying that it may be highly offensive to someone who has been raped. I cannot attest to this, as I have not been raped. But just as the OP has presented an analogy that America is being raped, I posted a counter raising the question is "rape" the correct word to describe it.
And the true definition of "rape" is not found in Merriam-Webster, but rather found through experience.
