I don't know how I can be any clearer that IT'S ABOUT POWER AND SEX.

Why do people keep replying like I'm saying its about sex not power?

Is it really that hard to carry in your head the idea that a thing can be "about" more than one thing?

Perhaps re-read a bit of Austen or Tennessee Williams or almost anyone other than a romance novelist to get an idea of what can happen between men and women that really doesn't have much to do with sex.

Aye carumba. Very little about men and women in romantic settings/relationships doesn't have much to do with sex. Have you turned into Atticus?

Uh, I'll go out on a crazy limb here... Because that's so reasonable and obviously right it can't be argued against?

If there's "winning" in this lunacy, you won about twenty posts ago when you started arguing the above point. That's proven by the fact you now cite: That everybody on the other side keeps pretending you're saying something else - something with which they could argue.

She'll forever be the Exorcist chick to me. I didn't care for her there, and certainly wouldn't be interested in her later women's prison flicks.

Romantic settings? We're talking rape here. It has little to do with sex, but nothing to do with romance.

Did you get your knowledge of rape from Tom Cruise movies?

We were talking about "date rape" (which I wholly agree is a terrible term), but which by definition happens in a setting where one party or both views romance as a possibility.

But here, I'll revise it to make it clearer: very little about men and women in settings where one or both of them holds out hope that they will fuck doesn't have much to do with sex.

I'm really starting to wonder if the issue is that some of you just don't get enough exposure to kink. Sex and power are often very closely related things.

Watching you on these boards, I guess I should have realized you like to be the submissive. Suddenly, I need a shower.

That you think that's an insult speaks volumes.

Greedy thinks a practical outcome of knowing rape is about power is that you can spot future rapists by looking for the people who have power, or seek it. I guess this is my way of saying watch your ass.

"kink?" We need a mod-meeting. I'm calling for a ppnyc-like exorcism.

I'm not stuck at a desk all day so can't keep up and it's kinda an effort to post. So I generally only respond to posts I see when posting or looking for responses to posts. Um, jackass. See? Insult.

I was going to cite this post with an infraction for Hilarity, but apparently, this site does not permit plebes like me to issue infractions to moderators.


Your loss, dude.

As both Thurgreed and fugee* have said, if someone simply wanted sexual release a bit of cash can get you that. And, as I said, Steubenville wasn't about sexual release at all.

What has happened to this place?!? Hank is the one to articulate the crux of the issue in a single trenchant sentence? If it weren't for the spelling error, I would be forced to conclude that aliens had done a cut-and-replace job on him.
