It isn’t rape if he is handsome
I am tired of hearing “He is a [insert adjective--handsome, wealthy] man, he could have any woman he wants. It makes you wonder why someone would accuse them of rape.” MSNBC just had someone on saying that about David Copperfield. We heard the same thing about Kobe Bryant. I believe innocent until proven guilty but what I do not believe is that a man is less like to be a rapist based on his attractiveness to women. Rape isn’t about haveing sex with someone you are attracted to, it is about power.
Get with it mainstream media.

Get with it Maintream Media?
Wow… that doesn’t sell papers or TV ad time… so I doubt it will happen.
