Don't say rape when you don't mean rape.

consensual sex
affectionate contact

a tackle
eye contact
an argument

overburdening
an athletic loss
a neutral metaphor
There are only a few things rape is:
forcing sex on a person

No one rapes your Internet connection, or rapes you in a debate. No one...

Ay that’s the rub. I am like a stone that lives… locked outside of all that’s real… do you know of such things, can you hear? I wish, or think I wish, that I were dying of something for then I could be brave, but...

There Will Come Soft Rains by Sara Teasdale
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pool singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; And not one will know of the war, not one Will care at last when it is done. Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind...

Teen Scares Off Wolves With Song by Creed →
A Norwegian teen has hard-rockers Creed to thank for saving his life. The 13-year-old says he was walking from school and headed to his family’s farmhouse on Monday when he stumbled upon four wolves. “I was afraid they would attack me,” Walter Eikrem says, but instead of fleeing, he blasted one of the band’s songs, appropriately titled “Overcome,” through his cell phone’s speaker, yelled,...
