Risky, you intimate that only women are susceptable to gang rape. I can inform you now that is completely untrue. Men get raped as often as women do when in a "captive" environment. The only difference is that women actually aren't suprised that it happens to them. In effect they expect it, whereas men with opinions such as yours are completely overcome should they be the victim of rape. It is proven that women victims as a whole deal with the situation both during and post attack much better than their male counterparts. A quick statistic: approx 4500 female rapes occurred int he London areas over a 2 year period. Approximatley the same number of male rapes occurred too, but many went unreported. It happens and it happens frequently. I ask you to consider the following: how would you deal with being gang raped? Bear in mind that you are as likely to be the victim as a woman. Also, seeing as you are both equally likely to be attacked does it not negate your point that women are more of a risk in the frontline?

Looking forward to the final Cornish Camping Club Excursion for this year....all welcome!!!
