Republican views on sexual assault

24. The thing is - most of these views are very old and most people have been enlightened.

The idea that a woman should "lie back and enjoy it" presupposes that a penis is an object of delight no matter how it is being used. It requires a spectacularly misogynist view to believe this.

The idea that a woman is responsible for a rape because of the way she is dressing - no, women are never responsible for their own rape. Men are responsible for controlling themselves.

The idea that God would "use" a woman's body as a vessel to bring forth a child - well that comes from a sick religious view. But I don't recall that the mother of God was brutally raped to bring forth Jesus.

The public has been enlightened to a great degree over the last 50 years, including police and medical staff. But there are some people who never let go of garbage they hear because it serves them. So they propagate it.
