== Fanfic ==
* [[Nobody Dies|NGE: Nobody Dies]]. When Asuka's blind date drugs her, Shinji, Hikari, and Gendo stop by their table as the date tries to run off with her–then it's revealed that ''every other patron'' at the restaurant is a Section 2 agent. Then they hand the date off to Rei.
 
 
Line 43:
* In ''[[Beethoven (film)|Beethoven]]'s 2nd'', Ryce appears to be in for something she doesn't want at the hands of her boyfriend, who's been knocking back a few underage drinks, until the Great Big Dog turns up opportunely.
* ''[[Uncle Buck]]''. The Drill. {{spoiler|Mistaken identity aside; the other girl didn't seem all that willing anyway.}}
* In ''[[The Craft]]'', Chris, who was under the influence of a love spell that Sarah had cast on him to make him want her, tries to date rape her. She manages to escape.

== Live Action Television ==
* Happened on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' [[Trope Overdosed|(didn't everything?)]]. Of course, her "resistance" broke the guy's nose...
** In another episode she gets drugged at a party by a group of cultists. One of the cultists seems to be planning this, but another stops him, since she and the other girls [[Human Sacrifice|have another purpose]].
** There was also a version of this with [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Dawn]], where her date revealed that he was a vampire, and that she was in the midst of a bunch of vamps. Cue the [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment for the Scoobies.
** Leaving aside the [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil|soulless vampire bit]], [[The Woobie]] factor gets ratcheted up when you realize Dawn was forced to kill the guy who gave her her first kiss [[With This Herring|with a pencil]]. Though she plays it off at the time, it certain puts her neurosis later in the season into perspective.
** And Angel [[Batter Up|hits a home run]] - with Faith's head as she was in the process of trying to rape and murder Xander.
* Partly subverted, or maybe played with, in ''[[The Facts of Life]]'', when Tootie is about to have her first "encounter" with her boyfriend in a car. She thinks this is what she wants; it's ''definitely'' what ''he'' wants; but at the last second she begs off, locks him out of the car, and fulfills the trope.
Line 62:
* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' - it wasn't in a car, but the date rape boy put the moves on Claire, who was interested until he started trying to force her. It was also subverted as he {{spoiler|apparently killed Claire by knocking her down so a branch impaled her head, but she woke up on an autopsy table when the medical examiner pulled it out}}. He was boggled to see her after the fact given how violent things had gotten. And Claire then proceeded to disabuse him of the notion of trying it again. Of course, then [[Magnificent Bastard|her father]] gets to him...
* This one was done twice in ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]''; both in cars, both as disturbing as each other, both girls being saved by the [[Big Damn Heroes]] and both attempted rapists suffering well-deserved deaths.
* ''[[A Different World]]'' uses the rescued variation when Dwayne saves Freddie from a [[Jerk Jock]] serial rapist.
* Happened in the very first episode of ''[[Mork and Mindy]]''. The titular characters meet for the first time because Mindy has driven out into the woods with her date who then drove off, taking her car when she refused to, ahem, play. Mork's spaceship lands nearby and he agrees to walk her home. The incident in the car gives us this line:

== Music ==
* "Womanhood," a country music song written by Bobby Braddock and made popular in 1978 by Tammy Wynette. The song is about a young woman named Patricia's sexual initiation, and it is strongly implied that her boyfriend -- who insists to her that he "only tried to kiss 'ya" -- had attempted to have sex with her against her will. A shaken Patricia tries to pray to God to help her through her ordeal.
* In Nickleback's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RtTFP2TNcM video] for "I'd Come For You", this situation is played straight to the hilt. When the girl can't handle the boy by herself, she texts her father, and he comes to save her in an awesome [[Papa Wolf]] moment.
