Jack Fischer asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

What are your thoughts on the term "date rape"?

Laurie Halse Anderson I think it should be eliminated. Rape is rape; doesn't matter the context.

If a bad guy steals your wallet at the end of a date, do we call it a "date mugging?" Do we allow "date murders" to be treated differently than murders that don't happen after a date?

Of course not.
