Rape is not funny. Your crass comments are a sign that you have been desensitized to the true horrors of rape. Desensitizing people to evil is very dangerous. Lots of young men believe that it’s every girls fantasy to want to be raped and that they actually enjoy it. Well I can tell you from first hand experience that is NOT the case.
"The students can just go direct from the on-campus health nurse or school-based clinic to get their free condoms, and head direct for the couches! All on taxpayers' expense! And look, they even get free on-the-clock demonstrations from educators on how to consistently and correctly use a condom!"
"And judging from the reaction of a number of male posters in this thread, they don't seemingly mind replicating this kind of sanctioning with their tax dollars across the country."
Nobody is talking about raping young girls! It was in reference to BEING (raped) TAXED FOR A SOFA and FREE CONDOMS! Keep it in context of the way it was stated and presented. You were obviously unfamiliar with the HISTORICAL quote from Clayton Williams (compared Texas weather to rape: "If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.")
Chill!! Nobody is promoting violent rape here. It was in reference to a politician who got on the hot-seat for the comment.
You are the one with the crass comments. You can try to defend them if you like. Whatever context they were made in, they aren’t funny.
What is funny to me is that you try to defend yourself with the classic 5 yr old defense of ‘well he said it first’.
BTW, no one said you were promoting violent rape. Of course making light of rape (in any context) does no one any good.
After I posted, I went back and looked at your original comment. Here it is...
“It’s kind of like rape - if we are going to get screwed anyway, we might as well relax and enjoy it”
I realize that you were equating the taxing to rape but you do something else.
You equate rape to “screwing” and say that if we relax we can enjoy a good “screwing” even if we said no to it.
The second time I read it, the sicker it got.
