But attain it, she has, and it’s got to be pushed back on. Vigorously. I have shrieked for years that if something wasn’t done to I dislike using the “rape metaphor,” because I agree with most feminists who believe that when it is overused, or used inappropriately, it trivializes the seriousness of rape.
