She went on to say lat one of every four girls between the ages of 8 and 22 will be sexually victimized during er life. One reason many women don't report rape is ecause of the different way men and women iew sex. A Gordon and Riger survey shows that wolen and men define rape differently. While veryone in the survey agreed that intercourse nth someone when physically forced was rape, nly 95 percent thought that sex without con ent was rape. About 80 percent of the women nd 64 percent of the men defined sex with a renager under 18 as rape. Twenty-three percent man may find it easy to rape a in because he doesn't have any *ct for himself or the woman." Donald Green f the women and 10 percent of the men deined "a stranger pinching or grabbing in a sexally suggestive way" as rape. Freshman Lois Ann Smith said, "I believe eshmen are more targeted to be date raped beause they are naive and believe it would never appen to them." Vhv do men rane?

"A man may find it easy to rape a woman ecause he doesn't have any respect for himself r the woman," Donald Green, an observer at le anti-rape march, said. One attempted rape victim, who is also a SC student, gave an account of her experince. "He said he wanted me, and then he rabbed me. I started to scream, and I didn't let p yelling until someone came. Fortunately I ot away, but I felt so guilty and thought it was ly fault until I found out he had tried this be)re. It wasn't his first time trying this," she ud. Elementary education freshman Katherine loody said, "No man rapes for love. It is to ave power and to show that he's in conol... Saying no to a guy hurts his ego, but le thing always to remember is to let your no lean NO." 1 Wasc-FM ,ur I FREE PREGNANCY TESTING Problem Pregnancy Counseling 254-7'i'i^ The Ladies Clinic Serving SC Since 1973 >NE FREE! | upon to I IMTER STREET g ss from HORSESHOE) c equal or lesser value FREE!
