My only real probl...This is fantastic Mrs. Pickles!<br />My only real problem with the rape argument is that it always gets mentioned as sex. Forced sex, non-consensual sex, sexual assault or sexual misconduct. We've come up with these convoluted terms to label rape as something it isn't. Sex. It is domination plain and simple. Executing your will or desire by force.

It doesn't make any sense!<br /><br />Leaving your car unlocked makes it easier to steal your car. But it takes about the same level of skill to rape a woman in a miniskirt or a burka. <br /><br />For an analogous argument, you'd have to claim that someone with a locked brand new Lexus deserved to have their car stolen more than someone Ozymandiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410555827569922830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110277373590292385.post-19493535779594420462011-04-08T06:18:31.640-04:002011-04-08T06:18:31.640-04:00My gut response to reading that guy's comment ...My gut response to reading that guy's comment was to wonder how many women he has raped. I tend to not trust people who so blithely create excuses for horrible crime.
