women are allowed a mind or a body but not both. A common allegory that teaches women this lesson is the pretty-plain pairing: of Leah n Rachel in the Old Testament and Mary and Martha in the New; Helena n Hermia in A Midsummer. Night’s Dream; Anya n Dunyasha in Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard; Daisy Mae n Sadie Hawkins in Dogpatch; Glinda and the Wicked Witch of the West in Oz; Veronica n Ethel in Riverdale

Women are 4 times more likely to be raped by an acquaintance than a stranger.Sexual violence is seen as normal by young women and men:“Study after study has shown that women who are raped by men they know don’t even identify their experiences as rape”;only 27% in the Ms. study did so. Does their inability to call wt happened to them “rape” mean that they escape the aftereffect of rape?
