Edmonton Radio Station Asks If Rape Victims Partly Responsib

[Romero]

Not to us sane people, but according to the right-wing soap box:

Todd Akin, Missouri's Republican Senate candidate, sparked controversy with a claim, made in a TV interview posted Sunday, that victims of "legitimate rape" very rarely get pregnant because their bodies prevent them from doing so.



Speaking to Charles Jaco on the Jaco Report on St. Louis's Fox station, Akin was answering a question about allowing abortions in the case of rape. He said, "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."

And leave it to you tards to turn the issue of rape into some right wing soap box.  Shame on you!

Rape, or "legitimate rape"?

Is there a difference?

nobody knows any more ????......every real or imagined sexual crime, including rape, is called sexual assault these days......so when you hear on the news that someone has been charged with "sexual assault"....it could be rape....it could be you thought someone across the room was looking at you oddly........it could be that you are PMSing and don't like the guy sitting next to you on the bus.....who the fuck knows these days whether it is real and legitimate rape or you just got your itty bitty feelings hurt....every real or perceived female slight is a potential chargeable offense in the modern justice system .......we wouldn't want to use any common sense on this issue either....would we????..... :ugeek:

I think you are blurring the lines between sexual assault and harassment.



Physical contact between the victim and the assailant needs to take place for a sexual assault crime to take place. Now sexual assault can be anything from rape to molestation but physical contact is required no matter what.

Same thing is happening in the US. Our colleges and universities have become hideouts for prog propagandists and indoctrinators where they can safely masquerade as so-called educators.  As you stated they have figured out a way to spread their lunacy by indoctrinating the empty headed youth of the nation. It used to be that when it came to higher education the bastions of far left nut-jobbery could usually only be found in places Berkley  and the Univ of Oregon but now it's rampant all over the country especially in the public colleges. Private colleges and Tech schools are still a mixed bag.

A recent survey indicates that over 70% of college and univ. professors are politically and socially liberal and the number is way up from just 7 years ago where slightly less than half considered themselves liberal. It's a growing and dangerous trend because so many of these liberal/progressive educators don't restrict themselves to the business of education. Many are social and political activists and they openly preach and advocate and push their progressive ideology in the classroom. In extreme cases it isn't totally uncommon to find that conservative students or students who simply disagree with their proffessors are discriminated against or bullied by the faux educational staff.

A fiberal arts degree today is such a waste of fucking money. The profs are wastes of fucking skin!!

not in a progressive country called Canada...here the complainant merely has to state that she was assaulted and the MALE singled out is presumed guilty....even if innocence is eventually established.....that fuckers life is over...believe me, lawyers in the USA are baffled when they try to practice up here as they are used to a presumption of innocence defense......here, if it is a gender offense the male is ALWAYS guilty of something...it is merely the job of the prosecution  to adjust the evidence to fit the charge....:ugeek:

there are cases in law here where a female complainant stated she `felt`a person was leering at her......said person was charged with sexual assault and discharged from their employment......happens all the time here

That is terrible if any man loses his job over something like that.

it certainly was no shock to anyone who has witnessed the descent into madness of our society in the last 50 years.... it was entirely predictable

True enough. Worse, the decent used to be gradual. The past few years it has taken on a full bore gallop and is way out of any control now... past the point of no return now

It's called the decay of the family structure.

That is how I feel too Real Woman..



We have discussed this in my bible studies group how much better the chances of success later in life are for a child that is nurtured in a loving two parent home.

I had heard about that ridiculousness.  I chalked it up to the stupidity it is and don't give it any bearing on the issue.

All this talk about harassment reminds me of my grade nine Power Mechanics class.  I remember those days fondly as the only female in the class - constantly being called a dyke, comments about the gap between my legs ignoring the spark plugs, suggestions on where a cam shaft could be stuffed, rumours that I performed oral sex on the teacher for my grades.  And then when another male in the class took it upon himself to report these things, no one would be my partner, my CO2 race car was destroyed and I spent the half of the year working in a room by myself for my own good of course.



Now I would bet my bottom dollar for every woman you shit on for being comfortable in a work environment, there are a whole bunch who just keep their mouths shut.

not sure to whom you are referring when you say you....i can only respond by saying....you`ve come a long way baby.......the pendulum has fallen off it`s moorings and currently lays on the ground.......i think we no longer have to fear female participation and dominance in any field of education......we should however, fear the type of male the current environment in our educational facilities is turning out.......that is scary

I meant you Munday.



Once again, and I will type it slowly so you understand, it...is...the...lack...of...positive...male...

role...modelling...that...is...at...the...heart...of...this...issue.  If you want to lay blame, gather up your brethren specifically all the dead beats, women beaters/haters, chauvinists, mysoginists, peepers, sexual conquesters, porn watchers, "studs", etc and give THEM shit for setting bad examples for their boys.



In terms of education, the system has identified the need for further male supports including relationship education.  So before you sit there shitting on the education system, learn how it's changing to address these issues.

I agree with some of the things that Obvious Li says about the public education system..



Gangs, bullying, brand name and celebrity worship are among the reasons we would never send our children to the public schools.
