Women have been complaining about the ridiculous sentences for "date rape" for years. Generally speaking the sentences are stupid mild because it's seen as some sort of "gentler, kinder" rape when a young man drugs a woman and then doesn't have to beat the crap out of her to get his own way when he rapes her. It's the "boys will be boys" syndrome. Every one of these idiots; black, white, gay, straight, bi or whatever other appellations there are deserve the same sentence as a person that hits, knocks out, punches, trips or in any other way subdues their subject before they rape them. Rape is a crime of violence, not attraction or horniness. It is VIOLENCE and causes harm, both physical and mental. If it is a man who gets raped, the perpetrator deserves the same sentence. Years in jail; not a wrist slap or probation. It's that simple.
