It's a shock when we find out that there are members of our gender that are as messed up as a male rapist.

I've done all the self-recriminations, I shouldn't have been drinking, I shouldn't have brought my friend into the house, I shouldn't have agreed to a beer with her wife.

Ultimately, though, I shouldn't have been overpowered by a woman that outweighed me by 60 lbs, had my breasts groped and then ...

You know the rest.
