I am a man, BTW.

Of course you have MY permission to post anything you want.

It's just that, at this point, we have heard quite allot about rape from men in the last couple of days here. Most of them are saying the same, unoriginal, hurtful things. I'll give a Scorpio the benefit of the doubt any day, but I would ask you to weigh the importance and originality of your contribution against the fact that allot of what has been said in these threads in the last day has really hurt some of us. Yes, even us manly men. If it already has been said, or alluded to, and you know it to be very controversial.. Maybe wait a bit. But in no way would I want to come over as telling you what you can or can not post here.
