::nod:: I know precisely what you mean. Exactly what you mean, actually.
And my apologies on the typo stuff. Sometimes I don't know when to turn off my editing.
My concern is that I believe in evidence over argument. Like you said before, it's total bullshit when a rape victim gets accused of being a 'loose whore', given how absurdly emotional and non-factual that argument is. So as a result, we go to the evidence, the most obvious of which is the physical examination.
And boy howdy. I've never had to deal with one of those myself, and I never will. But past experiences allow me to empathize with someone running roughshod over a very painful memory like that.
I'm not sure I can imagine a way to collect physical evidence of the crime, and even then the evidence can't always prove rape.
