@Really? and DeepInsideYourMind The issue to me is that if you make a joint statement and you agree to it, the whole point is to make a joint statement.

At the end of the day, my take is that what happened to Horvath should not have happened -- even if she is a feminazi with crap technical skills.

Rape is about power. It removes agency from the person being raped. <choppity> Rape has pretty much fuck all to do with sex, it has a bit to do with forced procreation, and pretty much everything to do with the rapist being feeling superior to the victim.

Rape is about power. It removes agency from the person being raped. In war it is effective in showing dominance of one tribe over another, it shows their women are not safe, and their men cannot protect them.

So why such a visceral reaction to rape? It's true that rape deprives the raped of agency, but plenty of things deprive people of their choice. A fast or devious individual could beat you to a contested resource, thus depriving you of all the possible worlds that could have resulted from your choic...
