stranger behind the bush. the vast majority of rape is not the stranger behind the bushes. i do not think the term date rape was to make rape less, but to establish and understanding that a very date often can evolve to rape. education more than anything else.

it is not the term "date rape" that lessens the wrong of this rape. it is the people that dismiss it that are the issue.
