54. Well, see, there is likewise no "Feminist Conspiracy" to discourage penetrative sex
Mon Jul 9, 2012, 08:06 AM
Jul 2012

There may be individual feminists (and Catholics, and others) who might argue against it, but I can promise you, in my 53 years, no feminist has ever suggested to me personally that I am being "raped" if I enjoy intercourse.

Never Happened.

Sex with a penis and a vagina (and whatever other orifices show up) ain't goin' nowhere. No danger of it being phased out any time soon. Any more than liquor is gonna get banned because some Southern Baptists think it's a sin to drink.

Women (and men) merely writing how they feel about the "politics" or ethics of intercourse do not a hazard, conspiracy or threat to sex make.

Women's reproductive rights are very much at risk. Can you put yourself in the shoes of a women - your own daughter or lover perhaps - who is facing a risky pregnancy, learning that if she ends up in certain states, they will let her die just so her baby can live inside her as long as possible? Can you imagine how it feels to have your rights to birth control denied, while watching men's access to Viagra be subsidized? Come ON!

While it is true that woman and men are pro-choice in about the same numbers ( growing numbers, fortunately in recent polls ) ....

...it is also true that there is no legislation pending in any US political body ( no pun intended ) that I know of which seeks to outlaw or restrict consensual penetrative sex. When there is such a law, I will be the first to protest.

And, while your right to not countenance noxious, offensive and authoritarian opinions is certainly acknowledged, your discomfort with said speech cannot in any way, shape or form be made comparable to a woman's being denied the right to have control over her own reproductive choices.

Your annoyance isn't going to lead to an unplanned pregnancy.
