The furor around 50 Shades of Grey isn't about what happens in private bedrooms

112. Funny, I see this as about

taking away a woman's basic right to consent. I told you I got the link from someone who actually read the book. There is another OP in GD by someone who actually read the book. You haven't read the book. You don't care what it is actually about, and you don't care that the objections people have raised are to rape rather than consensual sex. Instead, you care about attacking your strawwoman. Let me make this clear: You are attacking anti-rape arguments. Falsifying those arguments as about passing judgment over consensual sex is dishonest. It willfully distorts the objections people have raised in favor or your own fabricated argument. You refuse to distinguish between rape and consensual sex and between actual objections to normalizing rape and your own invented excuses to use against women you have targeted. Rape and consensual sex are not the same, and those of us who have experienced both know the difference. That you insist none of that matters says a great deal. That kind of blatant falsification and disregard for evidence is precisely what the most ignorant segments of the far right do, the bloviators like Limbaugh. They lack the integrity to deal with actual arguments and instead distort and fabricate for their own cynical purposes. There is no surer sign of a weak and corrupt argument than that.


As for kicking the thread, I'm more than happy to kick el bryanto's threads anytime.
