Whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another. If that by which it is put in motion be itself put in motion, then this also must needs be put in motion by another, and that by another again.

The extension of the term rape to such contexts ameliorates the word and appears a denial on the part of college students of the seriousness of the crime. — Connie C. Eble
