		Of the women I have known closely enough to be able to comment
	on the subjest, only ONE had not been raped at some point in time (and
	she was 16 and so had some time to go).  Meeting a woman who has not
	been raped is a rare thing.
----------
Of the women I know well enough to comment on, NONE has been raped.
My anecdotal experience is about as meaningful as yours...

Exactly so! So what do these two (admittadly small) samples say (if anything)
about the women who get raped? (BTW I don't know anyone who reported it to
anyone other than myself.)

None of them had a damn chance, and there are a lot more of them than you
think.

Regarding the person who claimed that meeting a woman that had not been
raped was a very rare event, while others claim that the opposite was
true:

Gee. I seem to remember as a kid wondering why all the grade crossing
signals I passed while on a long train ride were flashing. Seemed like an
amazing coincidence, since normally they're not flashing.
