Why not? It's arguable that robbery and murder happen far too often too (What is a reasonable amount of crime? I suspect I'd probably put it higher than most people would.) and no one's suggesting that they should be beyond the pale. But then, they're not all bound up with a load of Victorian hang-ups about ritual chastity and genetic inheritance...
There's a fine line between getting people to take rape seriously and using it as proof of wimmins hopeless status as eternal victims. I think that the old generation of feminists are really taking things too far. If they want more attention paid to rape, they should start campaigning for more recognition to be given to guy-on-guy cases, which make up a pretty huge part of the total but which we never even hear about. Ignoring them is pretty sexist, frankly.
