D.S. Credito's definitions
a horrific crime in which the sexual will of a perpetrator, a rapist, is imposed upon a rape victim, who for whatever reason does not manage to prevent or stop the violation from taking place. While rape disproportionally affects women, it can happen to a person of any sex, orientation, or gender.
In the recent political arena, Republicans have misused the word "rape," describing some rapes as "legitimate", citing that it is "God's will" when a rapist impregnates his victim, and even calling rape "beautiful" when it results in a child being conceived. For the most part, these statements were made to express extreme opposition to abortion rights, and thankfully many a conservative Republican political career was destroyed when their shocking words sent reproductive age women and men running into the arms of Democratic candidates.

Get the rapemug. when a faucet is kept open as slightly as possible, so that as few as five droplets of water per minute are released. This preventative measure is taken by tenants and homeowners during the wintertime, to keep the water supply flowing and avoid pipes bursting in subfreezing temperatures. During the coldest months of the year, apartment landlords often advise tenants to leave their faucets on a steady drip, which over an eight hour period may add up to a mere five cents in water costs.
