It truly is astonishing sometimes just what a remarkably thought-terminating taboo the topic of rape and sexual assault is. Of course it's a gravely serious one, but I don't exaggerate when I say most people are more comfortable talking about genocide than they are about rape.

Is it because a mass atrocity is more impersonal, or is there a degree of puritanism to the whole angle?

That said, mjg59 has always been a vested partisan on these topics, so I wouldn't use him to make any broader points.
