A Texan who was running for the governership back in the 80s said that ‘women should just lay back and enjoy it’ when asked about rape. He was a shoe-in to be elected but after that statement to the press Ann Richards defeated him. I have forgotten his name. I’ll remember right after I click on ‘post’. ;-)
I don’t remember the Texas Governor race, but I do remember the case of 2 or 3 Marines raping a young Okinawan girl, and the then CINCPAC (C-in-C, Pacific Fleet) making a public statement that the guys could have bought themselves a hooker with the money they had spent renting the car that was used in the crime.
He was relieved of his command REAL quick. I remember his name (was XO of my first ship) but I won’t reveal it.

Seems like there’s always some politician that says something stupid about rape every couple years.
