This is a home work assignment:

•  To what degree does poor communication between men and women lead to a potential rape situation?
•  Should men take the responsibility of asking women if they want to continue rather than wait for her to say something or assume she is consenting?

•  Are some women socialized to say "no" but mean "yes"?

•  Why do you think the incidence of rape is so much higher in the U.S. than in Great Britain or Japan?
