No, women are underreporting rapes because we have always underreported them, for a myriad of reasons . The shame of having the incident examined - and by extension having one's entire life judged - is just one, and the DSK case is not new or unique, just indicative of where we're still at.

And on that note, I'm off to the cop shop to report the harrassment that I should have reported two weeks ago. I put it off because I didn't want to leave the house, and figured it was probably my fault anyway because I have weird hair and I stand out.
