The Violence of Language Pt. 1

My morning check of Shakesville led me to this, which makes me so angry right now that I cannot even begin to respond.

As a feminist and a budding rhetorician there are just so many things wrong with this situation. However, after I get past the violence of forcing a rape victim to give testimony describing the situation as sex and intercoure (which imply consent), what disturbs me the most is the fact that the jury will never know that it the words "rape, sexual assault, victim, assailant, and sexual assault kit were banned at the defense's request.

Certainly there is a lot more to say about this, but as usual time is short.
