Must not use "rape" metaphorically
Australia:
"Ben Cousins is back in hot water after sharing a joke on radio about rape. The Tigers star told Nova FM his team had been 'absolutely raped' in Sunday night's 56-point loss to St Kilda....
Women's Forum Australia spokeswoman Melinda Tankard-Riest said Cousins and the Nova team should have known better than to make fun of rape. "Losing a game of football cannot be compared to the violation of rape," she said.

It's that pursed-lipped Tankard woman again. She needs a few tankards to loosen her up.

Someone had better tell Alexander Pope. I think that she's just being niggardly.
Reminds me of the NBC weatherman, Tex Antoine who was fired for using an inappropriate comment about rape on the air.
On November 24, 1976, his weather spot came up just after a report of a violent rape of a five year old girl. Tex thereupon quipped: "With rape so predominant in the news lately, it is well to remember the words of Confucius: 'If rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it.'
Bad move Tex!
I bet the serial complainer would really get a bang out of hearing someone describing the Democrat party as "raping, pillaging, and plundering America" (or Labor doing the same with Australia).
