Language rape is the mis-spelling of phrases or usage of incorrect grammar that is so bad that it can be considered to be a form of violation of said language. The phrase may be used in a variety of contexts, such as a facebook post that is unreadable or even the deliberate warping of language for political purposes, most notably the feminist inventions: "womyn", "wimmin" e.t.c.
Raving feminist: "womyn have been oppressed for so many years, but things will change!"
