It’s obviously the male’s fault in almost all such situations. If the female consented to or (worse) encouraged or even propositioned such fornication, then it’s her fault too.

But I read Mark Steyn’s column this morning. He reviews “Of The I Zing,” a recent book from Laura Ingram, quoting various mainstream “pop” artists in hit songs. From my interpretation, these “mainstream” American songwriters describe nonchalantly the serial rape of women as a commonplace activity. I wonder what that says to young women: that they simply should expect males to rape them, not date them. That sounds just so sick and perverse, and I refuse to listen to such debauchery.

Put enough of those pencil sharpeners together and you got yourself a scrapyard payday.

They do wear out, esp. with they use they get from 25-30 kids.
