if I can be Devil's Advocate for a second, the definition of rape/molest is pretty vague.
Two drunk people hook up, that is rape.
You get slapped on the ass, that is molestation.
Those are two of the mild examples of what rape and molestation count. Obviously there are the more serious violent, forced sex rapes, in addition to childhood molestation and whatnot, but to think that these more severe cases happen to 33% of the population is fear-mongering.
Hell, by the technical definition, I've been raped three times, and molested over 10 times a week. But for all practical reasons, I dont count it as rape.
I think we are simply seeing the knee-jerk counter reaaction to tradtional thinking: 30+ years ago, it was "blame the victim" when someone got raped, "she was asking for it" and stuff like that; now, we are overly sensitive and the definition has been broadened as to not exclude anyone, even if it includes things that shouldnt be there.
