Can't think of a type of rape (again, there's different kinds now?) where there isn't someone forcing themselves on another person. Has rape-by-osmosis been established then?

'Legitimate' rape can be defined as when the woman becomes so traumatized by the rape event that her body doesn't allow the pregnancy process to happen (just trust me this....don't bother me with this science bullshit). 'Other" rape can be defined as when the woman is not traumatized by the rape event, leading her body to believe it was consensual and allows the pregnancy process to happen. This should actually not be considered rape because she is obviously being a drama queen but those damn femi-nazis and liberal professors got to define "rape" first.

It's also true that every time a politician tells a lie about rape, both his nose and his dick get shorter. Have you seen the latest picture of Todd Akin ? . |

I can't decide whether Akin's comments are stupidity, ignorance, politically motivated cynicism, or outright neurotic delusion.
Either way it's bloody appalling that this person might be even considered for public office. America, you really worry me.

considered?
I know you're not from here, but Akin's not just considered for office, he's been in office for five terms already.

Yeah, I got that bit ... "considered for" was my way of emphasising how far off I think he is. What are you, Akin or something?

The issue may be politically incorrect among the more educated. But his support is not from those people. I suspect Akin's strongest supporters quietly agree with him. Or really don't regard his statements as inflammatory. I suspect the party knows this. And minimizes harm by pretending to not support him. |

Y'know what? I don't want to hear a single fucking right-wing conservative open their mouths about how bad Islam treats women ever again.
Jesus fucking christ.
