In 'THE DUNE' it's mentioned a man sexually pursued his housemaid_________________In 'A DEATH' a young girl is found murdered - someone shouts 'did you rape her as well?' -although it's never confirmed if she was or not. The story is about the trial. In the same story, a man is strip searched and internally examined, which is described in detail. ___________________In 'AFTERLIFE' gang rape: a man who is in the afterlife remembers when he was alive he had sex with his intoxicated 'semi comatose' girlfriend. He then watched as his two friends also raped her. He minimises what he did, saying 'it wasn't date rape' and the story calling it 'semi rape'. SPOILER It's revealed he's given the choice to live his life again, where he cannot change anything, and that has re-lived his life identically many times over, including the rape, and does so again at the end of the story________________In 'UR' a male teacher wishes to himself that his female students would wear a shirt saying 'I will screw you for an A' - but no sexual assaults happen and there are no further mentions after this_________________In 'HERMAM WOUK' an adult female character has a father who raped her when she was 15 and her mum minimises the rape. Her friend persuades her to visit her parents years later even though she's uncomfortable with it (although they don't make it to see him due to a car crash)

In 'Herman Wouk' a woman reveals her dad raped her when she was 15. The story uses flippant language to refer to it. Her mother knew about it and minimised it. Years later her friend persuades her to visit them, even though she has distanced herself from her parents and feels uncomfortable about it (but they don't make it to see them due to a car crash)
