“Did you bother to read the post I was replying to? Their solution was ban women in the military. Now which is more pointless?”

Yours by far. For thousands of years women have been banned from armies, especially combat operations. Do you perhaps think that was aberration? A mistake in judgment, or perhaps they knew what they were doing when they decided that women in combat caused more problems than they were worth? Suddenly feminists are rediscovering why women aren't traditionally used in combat. Surprise surprise!

Your post on the other hand presumed the poster thought that rape was ok just because he thought women didn't belong in the military. That is the stupidest presumption I have seen in quite a while. No one on this thread has said that rape was ok.

monday, you said to another poster — That is the stupidest presumption I have seen in quite a while. No one on this thread has said that rape was ok.

Stupid presumptions exist here, in force, on Free Republic (and actually many other types of online communications) because there no connection to *real life* in posting on a board. It makes it easy to say really stupid and dumb things..., such is life on a “board”... LOL..

Bingo. For libs, there is no history, everything's new and born ex nihilo in their starry eyes. Anything everyone else has known for thousands of years, a liberal needs a grant, a social experiment and his own lifetime to discover.

Now for my personal take on this issue. "One in nine men are rapists" sounds a bit extreme; however, if that one in nine is with four or five others, and one woman...she's an idiot and in some danger. They're a band, a pack, and they're not thinking like HER brother would.

That said, when women report "sexual assault" these days, they're often reporting on what used to be called lame, clumsy, or creepy flirtation behaviors. We used to say no in some form, and extricate ourselves, and that was that. In the PC world of today, particularly in the workplace, this male behavior is always termed harassment. Shouldn't (always) be, but libs have been writing the rules for decades.
