Rape or attempted rape has been used to add drama on TV shows, as Julie Beck points out has happened on shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl. On Grey’s Anatomy, Meredith and McDreamy’s love story begins with workplace harassment. The action of these and other pop-culture characters, she says, “were more likely to be portrayed as charming than scary.”

Don't worry, once Megyn Kelly's work is through, there won't be ANY males left in entertainment or politics whose careers haven't ended from such scandal. She'll be outing about 250 per year.
