The section on this site I ended up looking at is all about U.S.E., Unplanned Sexual Encounter, which these people (Baptists? I don't think they're representing that entire group. Just a really crazy part of it.) want to rename rape, so as to "remove the stigma associated with this sometimes unpleasant situation."
What? WHAT?!?
THEY HAVE A PROCEDURE FOR THIS?
No. NO. First off, you don't know for sure if you're pregnant.
The likelihood of becoming pregnant from a single act of unprotected sex (for example, from a one night stand) varies from person to person, and also depends on the stage of a woman's menstrual cycle. The probability is highest around the time of ovulation (when the egg is released), when, on average, up to one third of women will become pregnant from having sex once.So, if you got that 30% chance, there's also the gender of the kid. Using a name that could go either way is dumb. That's just a stupid plan. And... a blessing?! You know, I believe that things happen, usually for a good reason, and that in the end everything works out, but I would never, ever, call this a blessing. (This site is VERY anti-abortion, if you haven't noticed yet.) My first thought after being assaulted is NOT going to be "Oh, I'm badly beaten up and will likely have severe emotional scarring resulting in an inability to trust men for a long time if ever again, but I've been blessed with A BABY HALLELUJAH." That makes everything better. Some things just suck, and the only part of it I would consider a blessing is if I'm able to become a stronger person because of it.
The repenting part? More no. Here's a definition of rape; any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person. Note the forced part? There is no way in heaven or hell I'm repenting for something I didn't want to do. Arguments about having non-spousal relations/premarital sex not being repent-worthy aside. I'm not apologizing for being a victim, and this is what the site's about; blaming the woman, and de-victimizing her.
If a woman has seduced the man in some way, however, then she is to blame.That's an actual response to a troll (go him) asking: Ooh, so can I go out and USE someone who I find attractive? There's more.
Frank Lee, I done know how some of these harlots can claim with a strate face that ANY sexual activitiy was UNPLANNED when you look under their too-short skirts and find that they have shaved and carefully groomed there lady areas!
If you ask me and Jesus, those tramps are UP FOR ANYTHING! EVEN BLACK MEN!
Sigh. Baptists can't spell. Anyways. According to this (and subsequent posts, people actually agree with this guy), if I in any way look attractive to any man then he has the right to have intercourse with me despite what I want, because I was asking for it. Sorry I try to look nice occasionally... Two more things. grooming my "lady area" isn't a crime, and doesn't mean I'm planning on having sex whenever the opportunity presents itself. It just means there's a way I want it to be down there and I do that as a way of being female (or because it makes my hygiene easier to maintain). It's just like shaving legs, folks, except less people do it. It doesn't make me a tramp who's "up for anything." I don't think Jesus agrees with you. I'm going to even touch the racist comment... I think most rational people will agree that's terrible.
I propose that Senator Brownback introduce a bill to Congress stating that all menstrual blood be considered evidence of preemptive murder f a fetus. Only lactating women would be immune from prosecution.I propose that Senator Brownback introduce a bill to Congress stating that all menstrual blood be considered evidence of preemptive murder of a fetus. Only lactating women would be immune from prosecution under the new law.
In addition, feminine “filth” products (ie, maxi pads and tampons, but especially tampons because nothing should enter a woman except any man who wants to) would be removed from the stores, and anyone caught selling or distributing them would be arrested as an accomplice to the preemptive murder of a fetus.
Also, women would be required under law to register their uteruses with the government, and a distribution program would be established to ensure that no uterus goes without a fetus when a willing and able man is available to fulfill his patriotic and religious duty of impregnation.
Any “rape” that results in impregnation would be considered a citizen’s arrest of a woman who was shirking her childbearing responsibilities, and would be rewarded with the Purple Medal of Sperm.
Amen Kristine. The Bible says “Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to
uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness (Aunt Flow visiting).” (Leviticus 18:19 KJV)“Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.” (Leviticus 15:26 KJV)When Aunt Flow visits I just stay in the pool house until the Biblical time has passed. I will not submit my husband to my time of uncleanliness. During this week I don’t take any chances when it comes to my family. They can call me on my cell phone and I leave them casseroles in the freezer but I do not have phyiscal contact with any of them. I have my body trained so that by Saturday my visitor leaves and come Sunday I cam clean and can return to my family and church. PTL!
One more thing I'm sick of. This thing where menstruation, and the female cycle is considered unclean. More dehumanizing of women. The menstrual cycle is completely natural, and a good indicator of how healthy a woman is (if she's regular then all is good in uterus-land). A woman is not unclean because her body is doing what it's made to do every month. When I'm on the rag I'm going to use whatever products I want so I can keep living my life. I can't miss five days of school or work every month because I'm preemptively murdering a fetus. No one can tell anyways, unless you don't shower or something. "Nothing should enter a woman except any man who wants to."?!?! What about what I want? Isn't that important? Are you saying, because I was born with the wrong parts, I have no rights? Grrrr.
It isn't my patriotic duty to constantly be pregnant all the time. Read the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, woman. Also if this law ever manages to happen I will find a way to be lactating all the time. This is my body, and I'm going to do with it as I please. That is my right, and I don't care what that bible says. This is why I hate religion. (sidenote: Brownshirts for Brownback and Linus made me giggle quite a bit in the comments. I'd be their friends.)
My main problem with this site (other than the fact that if I joined this discussion my credibility would be severely undermined because I'm not Christian) is the incredibly sexist view of women who have been the victim of rape. They are victims, not murderers and harlots because they don't want to keep a fetus that will be a constant reminder of a night that, among other things, can lead to all sorts of emotional trauma. Here's the thing. Say I get raped, by a black man because I was up for anything, right? There's no way I enjoyed that. I was probably threatened with a weapon, and my comfort wasn't a consideration in this event. I'm six times more likely to develop PSTD, and I'm four times more likely to contemplate suicide. Having a child whose father is the man who caused all this is going to just screw me up more. The kid will even look like him! And that hypothetical child wouldn't have a very nice home life because of that. If I'm really against abortion, I'd adopt it away then. I wouldn't be emotionally capable of rearing it.
The act of rape or sexual assault is not about sexual attraction, or lust. It is an act of power and domination. If I could pound this into everyone's head with a rusty spike I would. Really. Anyone who tells me to my face that any rape committed is the woman's fault, I will slap as hard as I can. If a woman is dressed attractively it doesn't mean she wants to have sex. The only time she wants to have sex is when she says so.
I mean rape is just such an unfair term to use against men. Women always use it as a crutch to be forgiven for their seductive ways, ummmm think Eve slutting all over poor Adam. Instead they should ask for forgiveness, and apologise to the man for enticing them and go to jail themselves. Men in general are not interested in nudity, or sins of the flesh, they simply want to father children, yet women want the sins of the flesh, they are insaitiable sex machines, constantly trying to tempt men away from the lord for their own burning desires.
First off, rape goes both ways. Men have been raped by women. It's not a crutch, it's saying "A crime has been committed against me and I want justice." And like hell men only want to father children. Why does porn exist, hmmm? People enjoy sex, not just because they want kids. Woman are not all sex machines, just like not all men are. It's a spectrum, as far as libido goes. Stop blaming the victim. *keyboard flail* Words cannot begin to describe how awful I think that line of thinking is.
I'm so mad, I think I became a feminist.
(Yes, I know this is from a while ago. I'm not really talking about the political part of this, just the fact that people think that rape is the woman's fault etc.)
Here's a palette cleanser. You can't walk around all day being mad.
