Surprised?
[Read the article: Gonzales' anti-choice legacy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If you believe, as I do, that abortion relates to a woman's fundamental rights over her body, it is irrelevant what the majority thinks.
This is a specious argument.
The reasoning (if you can call it that) behind this argument is that someone completely dependent on you is completely at your mercy.
Sounds great for all those people who have to take care of sick, dependent people. I guess it is considered OK for those providers to just 'off' the dependents since those dependent's continued existence crimps the caretakers' style.
and it IS a style issue, abortion. The style of women wanting to fuck around without repercussions of any sort and TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER LEGALLY regardless of moral, religious, and traditional considerations.
nobody has the right to take another sentient being's life. NOT EVEN WOMEN. Surprised?
Y'all women who believe in this crap can continue to dig your holes deeper-- society is headed the other way whether you like it or not. I just feel sorry for the fetuses past their first trimester (when the wiring is all hooked up in the fetus, but mommy needs a better lifestyle because she was too lazy and NEGLIGENT to use birth control)

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree with all of your points. I do think most anti abortionists (I am not one, just anti post first-trimester-to-first-half) would agree exceptions should be given to the cases you mention.
Then there are the dunderheads who do not even let day-after drugs become over the counter legal.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don;t expect much from you or others who dislike my opinions, but c'mon, you should be a bit more charitable than that.
Brightstar thinks that every single woman is the frivolous, high-maintenance, good-looking bitch who isn't about anything but screwing men over (and worse, yet won't give him the time of day.) So, in short, he knows very little about real women and the choices they have to make--and he cares less so long as he can vent.
You concatenate wrongly two different types of women in your weird assertion.
Frivolous, high maintenance, bitches can be ugly or pretty but they are perfect candidates for the type that would abort a fetus without much thought.
Real women are often good looking too. But they do not fuck around indiscriminately with pretty-boy players to the point where they become so cynical about 'love' that to them, all guys they encounter are the same as the players and that they then must use and abuse ALL guys in return, no matter if the guy is for real or a playing doofus. You think women like this are imaginary, so be it. You haven't dated women like this (or maybe you have-- that's OK too).
As for any bitch giving me the time of day, I brush off hot looking women trying to get me to pay attention to them often enough to know where my interests lie, in avoiding women like this at all costs.
Real women are too responsible to fuck around indiscriminately without birth control. I am sorry you feel differently about this because it shows just how far so many women have fallen if you really believe this.
By the way, I believe the father has a choice too, that is EVEN AFTER THE CONDOM ACCIDENTALLY BREAKS.

Fair Enough AKA
[Read the article: Casual hookups cause "gray rape"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I was a little tough on you last night. God knows I admire well dressed women though and can appreciate your description of a ctue female teacher wearing such a dress.

Listen up Octopussy
[Read the article: Casual hookups cause "gray rape"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Let's expand the definition of women taking advantage of men too then. You wrote
Isn't it a lot simpler: a woman who is unconscious or even semi-conscious is not consenting? The problem with the "no means no" is that it turns the consenting part upside down. It simply is rape if the woman has not said "yes", which -- true -- will usually be said implicitly/indirectly, but mostly should't be hard to understand.
How many women out there take advantage of socially maladjusted and naive but wealthier men? DO these women LOVE these men? Sounds like the female version of some sort of RAPE to me.
What consent on his part did it take for Paul McCartney to get worked over by his cynical divorcing strumpet of a wife?
What about women who manipulate men into impregnating them even though they said they were on birth control? Many of these women have no problem seeking child support. Sure sounds like RAPE of a sort to me.
If a woman is semiconscious, the equivalent abuse of men is based in their naivete, lack of sophistication in game playing, trust.
I am all for expanding the definition of rape to include women doing these things to men and will lobby for it until it becomes LAW. When I say the prisons are filled with men because female style criminality is not as ardently scrutinized, I MEAN IT.

Chivalry is dead for good reason
[Read the article: Casual hookups cause "gray rape"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]On the premise that anything can and does mean NO eventually. And if it doesn't then she's a crazy bitch skank anyway. And of course if she doesn't want sex then it's a moot point. I'm waiting for the 'Abstinence is Rape because it makes the woman want sex, think about sex, which is sort of like sex, against her will so that's rape too' argument.
I'm dead serious. I believe celibacy is the only rational approach. Hell, complete separation of the sexes or at least utter indifference would be a good start. If I were 18 again I would probably remain a virgin for life.
Crazy as it seems, that is pretty much my attitude towards all women these days and has been for years.
I really cannot stand to fuck in a society where I can post facto be labeled something I am most definitely NOT.
Women have waaaay too much power in this society. I GIVE UP. Chivalry is so OVER. Better to let the women fuck heartless the endless piles of players and get screwed over by them.
