Reality is that Rape has very little connotation in sex but a large connotation in Power. Just for example that a Slap may not give a head injury or a fracture but it leaves an indelible negative mark on a person's personality, it is one person weilding power. People have forgotten Mukhtar Mai, she was raped not for sexual pleasure but to show her that she and her family are inconsequential people for the feudal lord. Marital rape is also convienently overlooked , fact is that most married women are often used as sleeping pills, they dont stand a chance for an equal relationship, they are not allowed to express their opinion on satisfying their own hormonal urge..<BR/>Rape is denial of equality.....and Ms Mirren is completely oblivious of this fact.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-34738321968089313092008-11-18T20:51:00.000+05:302008-11-18T20:51:00.000+05:30FV:What nonsense is she talking?

Can she be publicly flogged for saying this?<BR/><BR/>Not only is this statement utterly irresponsible, it is on too serious a matter to be dismissed only with ridicule. She should be taken to court for this and she damn well owes a public apology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
