I think, for me, that the reason I'm having such a visceral negative reaction to a choice between naked radiation machine and stranger danger grope revealed itself a couple of days ago. In casual conversation with a friend, during which we were talking about the coincidence of both having been in a production of Cheaper by the Dozen in junior high, I mentioned, ha ha, "Oh, and a year later, the guy that played my father "raped" me."
First time I ever characterized the sexual assault that occurred to me when I was 12 as "rape."
It's been an interesting week.
