Well the person I know who was raped was a kid when it happened and this was back in the 60s and the guy argued that while he had to grab her she didn't fight back hard enough so she must have wanted it. Her parents and the police bought that story so it was case closed. Look I am sorry I am not saying all Star Trek is bad but I just can't watch those scenes with Kirk without feeling ill. Sorry if I over reacted but I just don't do well with the type of sexism that was pretty much mainstream in the 1960s.

In my head I guess I know I should just get over it but I can't watch those scenes without thinking too much about them. Sorry.
