Allegations of Sexual

Darryl Ward (June 3) takes issue
with the claim in The Press that "support groups estimate that only one
in 10 rapes is notified, and only a fraction go to court" (May 27). I am a school counsellor and my
experience with many young women over many years suggests that these figures
are pretty realistic. Darryl starts off by sounding
concerned and supportive but gives the game away by quickly slipping into the
common hate rhetoric; "refuge industry", "prominent
feminists", "radical feminists", etc. You'd have trouble hanging those
labels on me. I am a conservative 54-year-old European male. Let's not forget the men and boys
who are also raped and sexually abused, or are they eating green cheese off
the moon and hallucinating? Or have the wily feminists got to them too?
