except, in many states it is not called - or otherwise identified as being - what it is...

No indeed, in many legal cases, if rape happens to a man it is called 'assault'.

If the same thing that happens to a raped woman, on the other hand, happens to a child, it is called 'molestation'.

The measured rape rate ('is going down') would be much higher, if it was uniformly recognized and categorized for what it is, rather than on the Orwellian language twisting and communications trashing standard of who the identically raped victim - and their age - happens to be.

Nice views Rascalpuff. Really there is a need to completely destroy these kind of crimes.
