Can we please not use the term "mind rape?" Rape is a term that refers ONLY
to the act of forcing someone to have  sex, whether or not that forcing is
physical or psychological (and, for the record, regardless of what the
victim is wearing, doing, or whether she said yes earlier).
Many survivors find using the term rape to mean
otherwise tremendously offensive and hurtful.
