It's unfortunate that an iconic image of America is now tainted by that background. It makes me wonder when the back story was first revealed, and at what point men began cringing about it versus when women did. For example, did men who heard the story in 1950 think it was bad? Women? How about 1980? 2000?
I've seen the image my entire life. I don't remember when I heard that she wasn't a willing party, but to be honest I probably didn't think it was a problem when I first heard. I don't remember. But I suspect that opinions have changed dramatically in my lifetime.
It makes think of this comedy assault scene from an early Bill Murray movie. It was funny in 1980 or so.
