Not everything that is immoral should be illegal.

- radford-neal 5y agoYou do realize, don't you, that if this qualifies as "rape", then huge numbers of men could claim to have been raped by women?
- drcongo 5y agoI realise that we must have been raised very differently indeed. Perhaps you could volunteer to mansplain it to the spy cops inquiry?

- radford-neal 5y agoSomebody has to argue against extending the brute force of the law to encompass everything that anyone (well, anyone with political power) thinks is wrong. That's known as "totalitarianism". In pluralistic societies, people accept that many things they regard as immoral should be addressed by persuasion and other non-legalistic measures, rather than by throwing people in prison.
