*is gonna regret this*

This isn't really prompted by anything other than having the topic in my head (thanks to my sis who has a very loosely related issue being discussed on her LJ). The issue of women raping men in BtVS has been discussed a few times in comments here and has been posted about by other fans. I'm just feeling curious enough to open up my own post on it.

So here's a poll about the male victims of the show. The final question is just a general question to gauge whether people think it's even possible for a man to be raped by a woman. Don't try to apply it to the context of the Buffyverse. I'm referring to the real world in the last question.

Feel free to discuss, though the actual detailed results of the poll are private (I'm the only one who can see them).

Sex is a physical act, and Buffy physically initiated the act.
That we can agree on!
