????????

I don't know either - I was just quoting from the WAR website. I certianly don't agree with it.

[Cathryn Crawford]

I've heard a lot of horror stories like this. I hesitate to ask - but was CPS involved in your case in any way?

If you boil down the feminist thinking on rape, it often seems to reduce to "sex with men." As often as not, they promote the message that sex (with men) is not meant to be enjoyed, or that the woman should at least feel guilty for giving a man pleasure.

Is it possible it's all about being a lesbian?

[Cathryn Crawford]

Yes, we have to find some level of balance between a woman being taken advantage of, and a woman taking responsibility for her actions.

By the grace of God, I was given enough wisdom to catch her lying under oath this time and spent many hours of research to back it up, so the final custody court date is next Thursday...

Pray very hard. In My case, My ex was ordered to undergo a drug screening no later than 3:30pm that day. She arrived at five minutes before they closed and told them that she was passing blood. They told her that that would invalidate the tests, and to reschedule. She never did.

Result? Absolutely nothing. The whole thing was completely ignored, and still is to this day. As much as it angered Me, however, My attorney warned Me not to attempt this Myself -as I would find Myself in jail so fast the scenery would blur about Me. And yes, I was furious. My friends merely shook their heads knowingly and reminded Me: "There is no 'Justice' in the american 'Judicial' system". As in: "There is no 'Truth' in 'Pravda'".

I see a pendelum swing to the extreme here. In my life, I know of four rapes....and one attempted. Only one was ever reported.

I still believe it is a very under-reported crime.

I also agree with your article. To allow "gee, I was pressured" to be rape weakens the case for those that truly were.

As for men whining for sex....
Youngun's, get used to it...just keep a lot of cheese around to go with the whine. ;)

I think I might be in the same age range...I was also told that if I let myself become inebriated, men might take advantage of that situation.

Bravo. Thank God that a few of us 'get it'.

feminists will never be happy until ALL heterosexual sex is rape. (s)Next all heterosexual sex will be outlawed. Only a "woman" of welsly knows what a woman wants sexually. (/s)

Go get em, buddy. Make em happy. ;-)

The irony is that they create an atmosphere of politically correct sexual prohibition that inhibits women sexually as much as the Catholic church or aberrant puritanism ever did.

Now that's one of the more profound statements I've heard in awhile ...!

Man, is this article behind the times...

In 1991, according to my Sen. Babs Moo-cow-ski (Peoples Republic of Maryland), Anita Hill was "raped" by then nominee Clarence Thomas. She was using the term to imply sexual harassment.

It's the damned RATs who have dumbed down the language. But isn't that the way Orwell said it needed to be done with 1984's NewSpeak?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I am arguing that the attitude that is being fostered among women by liberal feminists is wrong

I like the conservative feminists viewpoint better, too.

Some people don't think that there is such a thing as conservative feminists.

[Scenic Sounds]

While there has been a lot of loose talk, rape laws haven't changed much. Most of the changes have involved procedural protections for alleged victims such as limiting the scope of admissible evidence regarding an alleged victim's prior sexual history.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I know. It's an uphill battle, isn't it? Give them time. Patience persuades.

Yeah, but I'm impatient and short-tempered, as you know. :-)

Uriah will be happy to know he's a rapist.

Oh, Agnes!

You've done it again, Cathryn. You light up a room and then leave!

[Cathryn Crawford]

I'm here. :-)
