[quote=Anonymous]When I dated, I was abducted by a date and forced to have sex for fear of my life after the date was over. That was the only time I was raped on a date. I was also assaulted by a date once, also in a car. He was driving on a highway and I couldn't safely get out, which I think is why he did it there.

I was also groped in a shared cab by a stranger just a couple of years ago after attending a gala.

I don't think it's rare at all, but I do think that many young women confuse "rape" with "I drank too much and now I wish I hadn't gone along with that."

It's also become a group bonding thing to share rape and assault stories with friends. I've heard this with my friends and I don't participate. I just listen. I've never shared what happened to me for this reason. It's not a thing to bond over. It's a thing to recover from. I'm doing well now and I don't want to think about it regularly. What's the point?

I know that some women feel better when they know they are not alone, but that doesn't work for everyone.
