Fun fact: Akin apologized in the aftermath of those comments (while he was running for reëlection, of course). Then, two years later, decided it was worth publicly rescinding that apology.
Is the Republican party just entirely cunts? I read ‘re-election’ and made a bet with myself before I looked this guy up, that he would be an American Republican. And he was.
Abolished in the 90s. Still too late, but you make it seem like this law is still on the books. Back then, rape in marriage was only considered harassment and not rape.
So I knew the sentences they got were crazy low and that one of the guys was a son of a politician but looks like the justification from the judge I heard was just something made up. The appeals court rejected the sentencing but I don’t know what the final outcome was.
Imagine someone strapping you down and force feeding you a steak. Under normal circumstances, where you have complete control of your body, you’d probably enjoy that steak very much. But, in a situation where someone else is controlling your body and forcing it on you, you wouldn’t enjoy eating that steak at all.
Now imagine someone strapping you down and force feeding you literal shit. That’s what being raped is like.
That is a two pain point issue, some of the people spouting this shit want that, they want control over the female and the grubs they made. The other just wanna force someone to take care of them not having to be there when they could be on a beach somewhere lurking on drunk ladies.

isnt this still the strawman they put up, you cant get pregnant if you didnt want it bullshit?
“the body has a way of just shutting that down”
Or some such nonsense from some senile US senator.
Wasent one of those idiots a fucking medical doctor (god I hope they took his certs).
Here’s what happens to crackpot legislators who are also charlatans:
It suck that if you remove “13th-century” from this sentence, it will still be relevant today.
“If it is a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try and shut that whole thing down”
Todd Akin, 2012

Yes.
Only in countries that still live in the 13th century
Like germany where they claim that you can’t rape someone you’re married to

Does enjoying something automatically mean one consented to it? I wonder what analogies one can think of for men to help them understand?
Considering the context, bi-weekly meeting with ex-wife and kids maybe?
Do you like steak? Most people do.
