I missed snarking textbooks.

According to my sociology textbook, the Unified Crime Report defines rape as:

"The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will."

Because men cannot be raped, ever?

This book also goes out of its way to make it clear that children are the most likely to be arrested for crimes that only children can be arrested for. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CLEARING THAT UP, ROBERT REGOLI.

Woww... D:

also "carnal knowledge" lmao probably could have worded that a little better, a little less dance-around-the-subject-y. Why can't they just say "sex" again?

BECAUSE SEX IS A DIRTY WORD DON'T YOU KNOW

... Seriously, I've got nothing. Maybe they just wanted to use more formal wording.
