So this woman who was on SNL from '86 to '92 is voicing her support for Akin, saying that were she raped she would keep the baby because it would be a "blessing" and have its own unique DNA, "not the father's."
Mind you this woman is in her 50s. Makes me think of Patton Oswalt's joke about old people getting pregnant and having babies, "which I will now demonstrate by pushing this uncooked Cornish game hen through these gray drapes." She then went on to say:
EDIT: I suddenly realized it's that same woman who goes to Tea Party rallies and sings "There's a Communist in the White House," which aside from being factually inaccurate is REAAAAALLY annoying the way she sings it, and it makes the news here every time she does it.  |

Gaybies... I just had that image. It was... strange. Rainbow diapers.
But yeah... I really wish there was some kind of minimum SAT or IQ score or something for politicians before they can run for office. |

Originally posted by Elara Oh, of course. I mean, I remember when I was in high school hearing about this one religious leader said AIDS was gods way of keeping gays from reproducing. Because, you know, homosexuals are just pumping out litters of gaybies like they were bunnies. |

Originally posted by Sorcha Rohan I had to look up the translation, but fell off the bench laughing when I did. In response to the Tennessee guy... they've been saying that shit for years... it's just more "Whaa???" in the wake of the other moron. Which is a good thing, because people should be dumbfounded by these guys. |

It just keeps getting better.
Now a Republican state senator from Tennessee says it's virtually impossible to contract AIDS from heterosexual sex. |

Men can be raped just as easily as women. You don't hear about it much, but it happens more often than most people think. The big difference that we're talking about here is that women can get pregnant from it, whereas men can only be impregnated by a mermaid that just snorted lines of pixie dust freshly plucked off the back of a unicorn. In other words, it ain't gonna happen. |

Rape and sodomy are two very different things.
Sodomy can be consensual, as MANY people can attest (homosexual or otherwise), involving anal and oral sex. Rape is forced/non-consensual intercourse, be it with a penis or other foreign object inserted into a vagina, mouth, or anus. It would be like comparing Coca-Cola and Clorox. Both can be consumed like beverages, but one stings the throat and may involve calling in the authorities, ending with you having a rather traumatic experience involving them removing a fluid from your body. Whether that describes Coke or bleach is up to you. |

The Pepsi/Coke thing works actually.
And men can be raped... it's normally date rape, but it can happen. |
| True Flight Posts: 4935/5245 |
it's called being sodomized... not raped.
Edit: Which I think is the same thing just different word. It's like calling Pepsi Coca Cola. |

The problem with that, Rogue, is that most of these people are the same sort that would assume that them being raped is a physical impossibility. They're kind of stupid is what I'm saying. |

I've seen it happen in the military all the time. The girl wants it then turns around and goes to SHARP about how she actually didn't. Almost all cases are dropped if the other side of the story doesn't match up.
It also has turned into a group thing if there were other people there at the time. So everyone gets equally involved. |

It would be like saying that if you, as a man, woke up feeling hazy and drugged from a drink you had the night before, discovered your rectum bloodied and aching, semen leaking out. You don't know what happened to you or even if it was just one man or several who have raped you. You took an STI test and discovered you have HIV or AIDS, then was told you can't get any assistance in your medical bills.
It's just rape and unwanted pregnancy don't quite translate to men. I just feel that rape not only hurts women, but men as well. It's common to blame the victim, and say that "she led him on" or "she shouldn't have worn that or been there when she was." It's like saying, "Boys will be boys, and it's YOUR fault you didn't know that every man is an erection away from raping the next thing he sees." I would hate to be a man in that regard. That you are automatically assumed as a predator. That your bad behavior is excusable because that's just the way you are and women should know that. |

I wonder how these Congressmen would react if the few women in Congress were pushing for a ban on Viagra.
I know it's not exactly equivalent, but it's not like a man can have an abortion, so I work with what I have available. |

I've just flipped from laughing hysterically to blood-boilingly enraged again.
Stop trying to chip away at women's rights, assholes! |
| Elara Posts: 8026/9736 |
If I recall, under the bill they proposed, they would define it at "forcible rape"... meaning that all other rape (date rape, verbal coercion, statutory, etc) would not count. Their reason? To cut funding for abortions by the federal government. |

I love that our president had to just come out and say, "Rape is rape."
What the fuck is this redefining shit? |
