I found a link to this video about Ms. Marvel while reading Jim Shooter's blog. I like some of the stuff that Jim says; I'm less fond of other stuff that he says.

Anyway, I remember buying Avengers #200 (October, 1980) and disliking it, although at 13, I think I wasn't able to really identify what was going on as rape (I was pretty stupid about a lot of things). I also read Avengers Annual #10 a year later, in which Ms. Marvel gives the Avengers shit for not seeing what happened as rape.

I remember reading romance novels written around that time and throughout the 80s and "I married my rapist" is such a common trope and so damned disturbing.

I'm not sure if you'd be interested in attending this: Challenges Facing Reconstruction & the Quest for Justice in Haiti.
