LOL. Now that post deserves a THANK YOU. ROFL

[Treebeard]

You referring to the apparent total lack of reading comprehension skills exhibited by that poster?

[JimmyMc]

No, not if it's between a president and an intern. Why, that's not even sex.

[gcruse]

Who is Crawford?

Well, I remember her best as coauthor of  Roaring Twosomes,
but that's just me.  :)

[Sir Charles]

All depends on what the word "rape" means. More seriously, it would seem that such activity lacks the "lack of consent" requirement for rape, among other obvious characteristics. It may be interesting to delve into the theory of "mental rape", however.

Sorry if I took your comment further than you intended.

[fml]

It took me a few times but I think the poster who never heard of Crawford, should not have known her name as Catheryn. The poster was being mean for the sake of being mean.

[Scenic Sounds]

You can learn some more about violence against women here. ;-)

[CheneyChick]

The 'poster' nearly typed "Catherine", but that would have been too obvious.

[Cathryn Crawford]

I take it you missed #79? ROFL

[Ginger Grant]

Obviously Hemingway was an over-rated hack.

[fml]

You lost me there.

[CheneyChick]

Obviously Hemingway was an over-rated hack.

...who won the Nobel Prize in 1954 (after his earlier observation that "no son of a b*tch that ever won the Nobel Prize ever wrote anything worth reading afterwards").

[Mr. Mojo]

“Women, especially young women on college campuses, are surrounded by rapists.......the first signal, said the woman, was drinking. “Rapists tend to drink alcohol and become drunk at least once a month.” The second was a fondness for “exploitative men’s magazines.” The narrator listed Playboy and Penthouse as two of the magazines that are popular with rapists.

Drinking beer and "reading" Playboy in college? Say it isn't so! The nutcase forgot to mention eating pizza.

You didn't look up the movie?

Grady Little got what he deserved for bribing referees during the A's series.

Here are some fascinating quotes:

"Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every 2 minutes, according to the U.S. Department of Justice."

"The FBI estimates that only 37% of all rapes are reported to the police. U.S. Justice Department statistics are even lower, with only 26% of all rapes or attempted rapes being reported to law enforcement officials."

Link for quotes.

What do you make of that?

[Pukin Dog]

Gee, hows about posting some of your own works, for the sake of comparison? Crawford is a fine writer, a Freeper, and apparently, a doer.

You?

I'm still eating pizza. Not as often, though. ;-)

Poor thing. You'd think that woman would have bought a gun by now, after the first few hundred rapes.
