I’m sorry but someone cussing at you on your myspace page is not sexual assalt it is not the same as rape. This is a crap movie it says that anyone that if someone is offended they were sexualy assaulted. Ie an insult, if someone is being
asked out by some one they are not interested in it is sexual assault, if someone is offended by a dirty joke they were sexually assaulted. This is crap it demeans women that have been truly been assaulted, it make assault not seem serious.

Words are not the same as rape.
