	Ariel and Jeff both described my idea of the "rape fantasy"
very well. The problem I had with the survey was that some judges,
and probably most rapists, believe that the fantasy is what women
REALLY like and want. The survey helps keep rape in a category that
is not taken as seriously as it should be.
	Notwithstanding the preceding statement, however, courts and
police are finally coming to realize that very few (none) of the women
'ask for it' or desire the rape.
	Perhaps 'ravishment' would have been a better word to use in
the survey. Then I wouldn't have had such a knee-jerk reaction to the
emotional content of the word 'rape'.
