Date rape is one of the most confusing kinds. Some men believe that spending money on a woman creates a situation where the date owes them sex at the end of the evening. Because some men perceive that sex is their right, many women are raped by the men they are dating. It is not simply a lack of communication. Nor is it a result of sexual frustration or a lack of control.
Rape is an act of violence and of power which is often planned.
It is the responsibility of the person who committed the act of violence. A woman has a 4 times greater chance of being raped by someone she knows than by a stranger. In a study by Mary P. Koss at Kent State University, one out of every eight women students had been raped.
