Is raping women part of the life?

Furnari and Franzese both did that and were higher echelon mobsters so that suggests a tolerance of sexual crimes within the mob.

And nobody is forced into doing anything. You forge your own path in life. Nobody forces you to rape, extort and pillage for a living.

There are plenty of people who overcome worse than what Franzese did to become doctors and shit.

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
