...you know, I *almost* posted here that a rape victim would have a very real reason to equate a penis with a weapon. I didn't want to open that can of worms in the middle of this rather lighthearted thread or become the next target of DU bullshit.

Once again we have an example of some mens' biggest complaints being hurt feelings, in comparison with people who have experienced the trauma of rape and other physical abuse.

Yeah, our collective suffering is really funny, guys. Continue to laugh it up.
