I read that.   I think most people assume that a male being stronger should be able to stop a rape.     Since you clearly believe that not all rape victims have to be 'beaten', does that also apply to women that some are calling 'sluts'?    Is it OK to have sex with a resisting women as long as she doesn't strike you or shout for help?  Can a woman be raped and not be bruised?

You make an excellent point about double standards, but if you want to go that way Bill, you might turn the circumstance around and see if you are, or should be, treating the situation equally/fairly.

And if I'm throwing things at you that you don't believe, I'm sorry.   I tend to clump the arguments against free choice for women to have abortion, into one big argument that I've heard many times over 40 years.

I will not be offended when you correct me for assuming your opinion when it is not what you believe!

I believe woman should be free to make a choice, I don't assume what choice is right for them.
