Have either of you experienced gang rape? Been alone in the center of a circle of men who begin by tossing out comments, increasingly bold as they feed off each other, embolden each other with their own power displays? No one is around to stop it before it becomes something uglier. Yah, it reminded me of that. Assholes.
