    I'm not even going to lie: this doesn't surprise me. Maybe I've been around too many asshole guys (I once worked on Wall Street), but this just elicits a shrug from me. I had one guy confess to having raped a woman, in which he even called it "rape," and then asked me out right after. He was totally surprised I didn't fall for his "honesty."

    At least he didn't assault her. I've read about rapists post-rape asking their victims out.

    There was a Lifetime movie with Richard Grieco similar to this where a woman got raped and then the rapist asked her out and they got married. Sometimes Lifetime imitates life and other times life imitates Lifetime.

    @slowpoke.r: It's also a plot point in Watchmen. Well, actually Sally Jupiter never marries the Comedian but she does later have sex with him consensually and becomes pregnant with Laurie. I thought it was actually an interesting plot point that added a lot of dimensions to the character in the graphic novel. In the movie...eh.

    @Cerridwen: I haven't seen or read Watchmen, but I know that it was a very compelling storyline in Atonement and didn't feel outlandish or unreal but rather like something that actually happens. When many men still believe that it's impossible for a husband to rape a wife, it's not that unlikely that women can come to see things that way too, if only to mentally protect themselves in an unavoidable and terrible situation. I know that's sort of the reverse of marrying one's rapist but I think it's related.

    @Cerridwen: In the graphic novel, Laurie is the product of Sally's rape. There is no humanizing of the Comedian afterwards, he is an unapologetic rapist. Apparently Zack whatshisface decided that was too much of a gauntlet to throw in the movie and inserted that crap about them hooking up later in the movie. Which was BS.

    It would be a better public service campaign to show pictures of ordinary homes, clubs, restaurant, college campuses and have the stencil or a voice over that "someone was raped here", since all of those are more common places.

    I find it difficult to distinguish between this and the very anti-feminist, violent, threatening scrawlings all over NYC. I'm not sure how much of a difference the intent makes if the impact is similar.

    @kelsium: I'm not saying the method of graffiti art can't be used in a way that is positive. Just that this particular one strikes the exact same feeling into my heart that any violent, misogynistic graffiti does, so I don't find this particular example to be effective in doing what you mention. I'm also not sure that if I just saw this on the street, not knowing anything about the intent or the person who put it there, I would necessarily know it's intent or consider it feminist. Maybe I'm a pessimist or not cultured enough to "get it", but I'd probably think the worst and assume it was meant to cause fear.
