...unnecessarily emotive language, rape victims are not 'survivors', no need to liken them to holocaust victims. it devalues the term. i don't like that.
I feel that rather being a journalist she is in fact lending her considered opinion in a editorial comment.
Her choice of the word "survivor" is no doubt formed from her work with rape victims.. I don't feel it's unnecessarily emotive.. I can only imagine how horrific rape could be and many victims may well feel that they are survivors..
The word survivor is not the exclusive property of holocaust victims is it.
