by Joseph Sanlei fl Rape is a forceful and brutal sexual assault upon oneiperson by another. It is thef’absélutéiantithesis of should never be confused with it.
Rape has been viewed over
the years through many a mind's eye“, and quite often in diverse ways, In the theatre, rape has been a theme for centuries , (note PEI's Johnny - Belinda). ' The-,.literary and pornographic werld have even a fuller history of concerning themselves with sexual assanlt. Unfortunately, in the theatre, on the cinema
' screen and television screen, and on a myriad of pages in countless books, rape has been
’ either rcmanticized or otherwise glorified into an experience other than an act by which its victims are degraded and irreparably injured.
The Canadian Standard College Dictionary ‘
in its lexiconic wis- dam, defines "rape"
.as : "-forceable and um lawful vcarnal knowledge of a wmxan against her” Will" o

These responses are the result of female-male differential power in
the society - cohtinuations
* of the property value of
women in marriage and the social allocation of shame. Women and children (far more children than we may realize) because of their relegation by archaic norms to a position of, property and dependency in the so-called "mans worl " in which they exist- are considered fair-game for some men whose own feelings of inadequacy . or inferiority are purged in acts of . sexual dominance and feelingsakifn to conquest. After all, history teaches us that the . soldiers of the Roman Legions follcwing a vic- torious battle would often sodomize their van-

male alike, and which is available at the Unive— sity Library) it is written that "Rape is an exaggerated acting out of some of our societies conventional ideas toward women. women are supposed to "belong to a man, so they are often, considered 'fair game'r or to be 'asking for it' if they ar— not visibly protected
by a man. Wemen are often viewed as passive 'sex dojects! There to be violated "and children
as young as six months and women as old as ninety- three years have been raped".
So long as women are viewed as objects of male "gratification", rather than persons, rape will exist — just listen to the crude remarks from
among some of the less intelligent members of the student body that are
liable to be generated by this article, _here at good ole UPEI.
Rape is not confined to the darkened streets of urban areas. In fact, rape is not confined anywhere. It may oacur even between husband and wife in the home. Following several conver— sations with police officers who specialize in rape— prevention, as well as with women and girls from the
maritimes to the_Caribbean, even I was surprized to
discover how wide spread - and yet how hidden a crime rape is. Rape can occur to any female virtually anywhere and will, without a doubt) ' leave its victim with psychological, spiritual and mental. and perhaps even physical scars that will remain for the rest of her life..
Hanging rapists - and I don't mean by the neck (although perhaps a fitting punishment for their crime) will not end rape. Perhaps rape will decline in a non-sexist society in which women and men alike will be liberated from repressive sexual stereotypes. How— ever, in the present, per— haps we can at least work to lessen the pain of rape victims by working for the extablishment of rape-crisis centers here on Prince-Edward Island, perhaps with one center for each of the prov- incial counties. The University would be an ideal local for at least one of these centers. I urge you, therefore, to contact your MLA's and MP's, write both this paper and Island press expressing support for this proposal - and if you would like, contact me care of the Sun or Box 51 Marian Hall, and perhaps we can work to- gether to see that at least the pain of one more victim of this brutal crime may be healed.
