Horse bites HURT! Those massive incisors are like getting caught in a bear-trap, and horses are STRONG!
I know. I grew up around Percheron horses (my father and grandfather were breeders of the purebreds, some imported directly from France). Arthur, the stud, had his own box stall on the west end of the barn, and there was a huge oak wood gate that was within the outside weather door, with massive hinges and a heavy sliding bar. Arthur gnawed through the wood and undid the sliding bar, escaping for a short while.
Stud horses are not domesticated animals.

TRIGGER WARNING
Another liberal construct to separate us into smaller and smaller victim groups.

I don’t want to watch depictions of rape, either.

I was making a joke - don’t even have a sister - but I’ve seen some horse-bite injuries. Those are BIG teeth.

I walked out of both A Clockwork Orange and Deliverance because of the rape scenes and Ive never been abused.
The only movie I ever walked out of was Clockwork Orange. I had read the book and knew what to expect but seeing that much ultra-violence was not something I was up for. I was in my early twenties and a calloused sailor aboard Enterprise. Long ago and far away.

I was in my early twenties and a calloused sailor aboard Enterprise. Long ago and far away. I felt the same way. I thought the rape scene was gratuitous. A few years later, I reconsidered the notion. The ultraviolence depicted was central to the theme, and drives home the message. It's supposed to be horrific.
YMMV, opinions will differ on this of course.

In the fullness of time and reviewing the film I totally agree.

According to most accounts, this was a conscientious accommodation of people who'd been raped or otherwise horribly abused.
But soon the practice metastasized. It's human nature, always taken to the max by bureaucracies or liberals. And yet we still have people who pooh-pooh the "Slippery Slope" observation.
