"I'm not certain that, technically speaking now, it's even possible to "rape" a 'ho."

You completely mistook my intent. I no more hold to the "truth" of that italicsized sentence than am I a "male land owner." It seems that those people who do think that way aren't alone in their deplorable prejudices.

Ahem.

I was confident that the phenomenal ridiculousness of the statement was enough to make it clear that I was parodying, ridiculing and lambasting people who actually think like that.

Unless, of course, one's deeply personal bigotry gets in the way of a more reasonable interpretation. Whatever. I suggest you trade in your histrionic soap-boxes for a smidgen of rational thinking, and leave your yet-to-grind axes at the door.

Just a thought...

Are you accusing me of accusing you? If so, you may benefit from reading my comment again. Or maybe not.

"I was confident that the phenomenal ridiculousness of the statement was enough to make it clear that I was parodying, ridiculing and lambasting people who actually think like that."

I think your satire failed because it's clear that a number of the people in this article bought into this precise argument, and it sounded like you were agreeing with them.

While it may be a ridiculous idea to you, even before reading this article I could have told you that the idea that a "ho" of any age "can't be raped" is broadly believed by both liberals and conservatives (although my money is it's one more liberals buy into). Therefore your confidence was misplaced.

A world where supposedly reasonable people consider that idea phenomenally ridiculous is not the world a lot of us are living in.
