It JUST Means Defeat
It's okay to talk about our ignorant past of ignorance as long as it is in no way applicable to the present, requires no sincere self-refection or pragmatic change in behavior and is all largely theoretical. Because, of course, we're past all that. This article is of course complete poppycock but I really want to talk about Brandon C. Francis's comment. See since no one ever really gets raped anymore in the world where we're past that sort of thing, it's okay to use that word to (appropriately) call into question an article, and it in no way undermines the meaning for actual victims of rape. If rape happened with shocking frequency or to 1 in 5 women, that would be one thing, but we're enlightened now, so it's not insulting at all.
