     I think his point is less that nonconsensual sex is fine (he does still allude to it in that rape police sentence) and more that consent should not legitimize immoral acts (e.g. threesomes). Still terrible stuff.

What?

     That's what Rush Limbaugh is saying. I'm not defending it.

So what'd he's saying is, as long as both sides agree, in a liberal society they can commit whatever sexual actions they want.

I fail to see the problem with this.

     He's saying that he doesn't want the liberal society that he's describing.

I was going to quote my post from last week about how Republicans love rape and can't for the life of themselves ever stop talking about it, but it appears that it was deleted. Cry

This of course was posted before Trump's rape comments. At least I'm perpetually being vindicated!



Also, nobody calls "the rape police". There's just "the police", because rape is a crime - whether the GOP loves it or not.

Speaking as someone with multiple family members who have been sexually assaulted, I'm honestly glad that Trump's comments went public; not just because it's destroying his campaign, but also because it's helping to expose rape culture to the masses. This might be the first positive cultural impact of his campaign other than him making the idea of "building a wall" a total joke to any sane person, while a decade ago, even plenty of Democrats paid lip service to the idea.

     What is the left going to do with this, though? I think rape is terrible and I'm open to ideas on how to reduce the incidence of rape, but what I've heard coming out of the left on the issue is largely inane. If it's going to be namby-pamby stuff like consent courses (because people are somehow smart enough to go to college yet are blithering idiots who don't know what consent is), then y'all are just going to waste your time.

You put way too much faith in people who attend college.

     That thought occurred to me after I made the post. Hell, with some of the videos I've seen of college kids I wouldn't be surprised if there are college students today who couldn't define "consent".
