LOL GOP Rap Shennanigans (WORST THREAD EVER)Follow

No, they don't. Plenty of people are of the opinion that certain kinds of rape are, if not perfectly acceptable, not a particularly big deal. You know, people like gbaji.

Pretty disingenuous thing for you to say.



Funniest thing I ever heard.

You're killing me.

Upon rereading, I think the issue, Elinda, is that you wrongly assume that the cause of trauma is singular - that there's only one explanation, and that it's "hangups about sex".

No. I certainly didn't mean to suggest that. I don't always enjoy sex even when I consent to it.

If you want to talk about rape with assault we can do that. Why would rape be so traumatic that a woman would hurt herself before allowing it to happen?

Then I have no idea what your point is about sex being enjoyable when talking about rape.

And why wouldn't a woman fight back if someone is trying to violate her?

I don't think it's a "hang up about sex" if you expect not to be forced into having it when you don't want to.

HIV, the clap, herpes, babies, ew sperm, etc...

I guess you're saying that if a man approached you with the pretense that he was going to **** you whether you liked it or not, you'd rather allow it to happen than attempt to physically reject his advance, but I call ******** on that, or maybe you're just mentally deficient.

That's basically the same question I asked.

What are we instructed to do if we're being robbed? Give the robber whatever he/she wants - it's only money it's not worth getting hurt or killed over.

Why aren't we given those instructions if we're being raped?

I don't think it is your intention, but you just compared a woman's body to a wad of cash. Being robbed is nothing like assault. I have never heard anyone suggest that if someone wants to beat you up you should just let them. Suggesting that a woman simpy submit to her rapist is twisted.

Edit: To answer your why fight question, by the way? Because you might be able to avoid getting raped.

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

You're full of crap. Women aren't thinking of STD's or pregnancy when they're getting raped. You can diseases from all sorts of interpersonal encounters.

If your rapist has AIDS, you're much more likely to contract the disease if you have an open wound. You'd be risking less to let it happen and avoid getting an open wounds. Most of your non-bloodborne STD's are curable. You can get an abortion or use a morning after bill if you get knocked up.

Why should a woman fight off a raper? Why does a woman fight off a raper?

Rape is traumatic. It's more traumatic than other physical crimes because it's involves sex.

You can't answer the question?

I'm not trolling. You're trolling.

...or you might get killed.

Small price to pay to avoid letting a strange mans weany into your precious lil vag eh?

Really? If you're actually able to fight someone off, or yell for help, great. Most of the time you'll just hurt your attacker a little bit which will end up making them hurt you more.

In addition to the obvious answer that she may be able to avoid being raped, I'll inject my patented "because that way there will be marks" response. I know that lots of people like to ridicule my arguments regarding rape, but the reality is that when there is no physical evidence that sex was non-consensual, it's much harder for the woman to actually do anything to her attacker legally. We can sit back and say that "rape is rape" and if trials were all held inside the head of the victim that would be sufficient. But trials are held in public, and the victim has to prove to a jury that she was raped. Anything that helps provide that proof is beneficial *if* the objective is to punish the rapist.


BTW, this isn't some magical requirement of rape. If someone walks up to you and demands money from your wallet, but does not hit you or harm you in any way, only takes money (so nothing identifiable), and there are no other witnesses to the event, you'll also have a hard time proving you were robbed. He can say "It didn't happen", and burden of proof will be on his side every time. The difference? Most people aren't willing to suffer injury to protect the cash in their wallet. The crime isn't worth it. I would argue that rape is, or should be, worth suffering physical injury to avoid. Ultimately, its the victim choosing which form of trauma is worse though, with the result being that she'll tend to be judged (fairly or not) based on that decision.
