I am mortified that anyone would view rape as normal ... rape is not an adventure ... it is a horrific crime

I knew someone would tie privilege and anti porn upaloopa Nov 2013 #1

If you don't speak out, then what??? CTyankee Nov 2013 #110

It's not whether or not you speak out... rrneck Nov 2013 #124

the whole idea is to change the way our society feels about the rape culture. CTyankee Nov 2013 #126

Profiting from the issue won't make it go away either. rrneck Nov 2013 #129

I am at a loss to understand your thinking here. Bains bain isn't profiting from the issue. CTyankee Nov 2013 #149

While I admire your efforts with this DUer, chervilant Nov 2013 #152

This DUer is defending the right to produce fiction whether it's good or bad. rrneck Nov 2013 #156

Well, I'll just have to work with what I've got then. rrneck Nov 2013 #245

No, you didn't. You asked me to join with you and talk feminism's "lunatic fringe." CTyankee Nov 2013 #260

Another fine example. nt rrneck Nov 2013 #262

You're excused. Here are some words of wisdom another poster gave you. cleanhippie Nov 2013 #77

rofl, now this was funny loli phabay Nov 2013 #54

Show me where I have accused someone of being a rape apologist in these porn threads? BainsBane Nov 2013 #38

Oh please ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #140

Are you asserting that no rape porn is made without consent? BainsBane Nov 2013 #144

Nope, I'm asserting that you can't believe women would consent.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #151

Doing that would require her to actually DO something other than rant on an anonymous message board cleanhippie Nov 2013 #161

Rule #3 xulamaude Nov 2013 #167

What precisely is it you are "doing' BainsBane Nov 2013 #244

How's that ego doing? A bit bruised, I imagine. cleanhippie Nov 2013 #256

How can it be bruised BainsBane Nov 2013 #265

Yep, it's bruised. Badly, too, judging by your defensiveness. cleanhippie Nov 2013 #270

So it couldn't have been about propping up my ego then? BainsBane Nov 2013 #273

You're projecting. cleanhippie Nov 2013 #283

Actually I never said that women can't consent BainsBane Nov 2013 #241

You'll have to direct me to which post I'm supposed to refer to today.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #281

Yes libodem Nov 2013 #116

It's not an issue of whether the actors consent Scootaloo Nov 2013 #181

I do not think that presenting rape as sexy, entertainment, or no big deal is good. So we're clear. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #191

No? That's good, but hard to read from your post Scootaloo Nov 2013 #197

It's despicable, I don't watch it, but I also don't make other peoples' decisions for them Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #198

Yes, that's how the topic came up, but it's not what it's about Scootaloo Nov 2013 #199

The so-called scientific studies are coming from right wing sources and think tanks. Undeniably. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #289

That point about the origin of those studies BainsBane Nov 2013 #290

No, but the core assertion of Dworkin/MacKinnon 2nd Wave Thought on the topic has been debunked. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #302
