@hawkeye10,
This is a thread about rape.
You are trying to turn it into your own private arena to vent your peculiar notions about sexual politics, and sex law and what you feel should be unrestricted sexual activity.
Quote:I think it is high time we talk about women and what their responsibilities are....I know the knee jerk reaction is to blame the man, but this is 2010, we really should not live in the olden times when a man said jump and could assume that the woman would jump. We reached equality some time ago, and with equality women gain responsibilities,which they tend to want to avoid by blaming men when something goes wrong.
You claimed you knew and understood the definition of rape. Apparently you don't. There is no way that the woman can be responsible for her own rape. Both the law, and pure common sense, ascribe sole responsibility to the rapist.
Were your children responsible for their sexual abuse? Was your wife responsible for her sexual abuse?
This has nothing to do with sexual politics between men and women. It is about sexual assaults on unwilling victims. Rapes of 11 year olds, 80 year olds, 20 year olds, 93 year olds, 40 year olds. Rapes of wives, doctors, grandmothers, secretaries, college students, daughters, nurses, and even nuns.
The topic itself seems to make you pretty uncomfortable, since you just can't seem to stick with it, or fully understand it, or view it with any degree of objectivity.
Women sure do have responsibilities regarding rape--mainly to get rapists prosecuted and convicted.
