I don't think this is the 'vilest' of misogyny, and I think the hyperbole does a disservice to women. This isn't really about rape; it's about the legal power

This isn't really about rape; it's about the legal power asymmetry in entirely consensual sex. I'm not complaining about this, or advocating any policy positions, I just find it interesting to think about out loud.
Your reaction is interesting, too. Why do you associate the gp post with misogyny?
- gbrown 6y agoBecause even in the case of entirely consensual sex, at the end of the day only one party is faced with important decisions concerning their own body. To try to insert non-physical concerns of a third party into that calculus is an order-of-magnitude type mistake in moral reasoning, and as such, shocking and unacceptable.
- antepodius 6y agoWe do that all the time with drug laws.
- gbrown 6y ago... and do you support that? Anyway, a much better example would be forced sterilization policies.
