But to me, it is not glorifying or trivializing rape, and it is not just gratuitously including rape for the purpose of being sensational. Rather, it is an honest and accurate portrayal of what life was like in the time period where it takes place, including the fact that rape happened, a lot, and of the effects that violation has on the victim. I also give it props for including a male victim of sexual assault.(less)
