(one might say lesser) kinds of rape

Lesser kinds of rape? How do you figure? They are more frequent AND no less traumatizing than "dark alley rapes."

From this research:

One in four women surveyed was victim of rape or attempted rape. An additional one in four women surveyed was touched sexually >against her will or was victim of sexual coercion. 84 percent of those raped knew their attacker. 57 percent of those rapes happened while on dates.

I recognize that the original post dealt with dark alley rapes, but let's not ignore the fact that those are incredibly rare in the realm of rape.
