Having the same name as an often-violent crime doesn't automatically mean something is that bad.

Squashing an insect and setting a mouse trap are technically killing, but there's nothing wrong with them.

I think you first need to admit that it's at least conceivably possible that your emotion overreaction is compromising your objectivity on this subject.

Unless she's bending it, squeezing them, or using a strap-on, the woman thing is a complete non-issue in terms of actual consequences. If men and women are different, I just can't see how a woman raping is supposed to be equally as bad as a man raping.




Again, Jesus Christ!

You dismiss the psychological and emotional trauma of being subjected to non-consensual sex as "a complete non-issue in terms of actual consequences".


Acting shocked at something doesn't make you right.

What can I say, I just can't see how there's much difference between 1) a woman being very forward with you and 2) a woman being very, very forward with you. There is a difference, but it's a difference in degree. If one is a good thing it's pretty unlikely that the other is a heinous, horrible thing.

I don't see how it would very traumatic any more than a woman hitting would be very painful: possible, but not the most likely outcome.
