Subject: RE: BS: Some rape victims should take blame
I read everything with an open mind MtheGM.

Lizzie is arguing that there are some circumstances in which a woman deserves to get raped.

She is stupid, you are stupid if you agree to that proposition.

There are some issues that do not have to be seen in shades of grey or seen as being nuanced. This is one such issue. It is utterly black and white. No, means No. Even if yes has been said and the act of sexual congress is under way, No means No and Stop means Stop. Simple as that. no equivocation.

Now if you say that that a woman who dresses in that "slap my bum" (with an arrow to her bum) T shirt is probably asking for a male (or female) contemporary to slap her bum, smile and make a flattering (or lewd, but playful) comment. Then, yes, I would agree with you.

But that is not what is being said. You, certainly Lizzie, are saying that a woman in that situation deserves a full-on sexual assualt / rape. That is outrageous, deeply stupid.
