1. At common law, one could not rape a wife...

Most jurisdictions have modern statutes that close that "loophole"

[OldLeftieLawyer]

2. That was changed only in the last

twenty-five years, or so. Maybe less. Maybe in the last twenty years.

Scary, huh?

Try getting a rape charge to hold when the victim's a prostitute ........

3. People do still think that way.

It's very scary.

4. I am reminded every day how common that attitude is.

Vile.

5. This thread is an interesting comment

on the difference between "them" and "us"

The fact that a line from a TV show elicits a discussion of the issue from us. A line on the same TV show elicits calls for censorship from them.

6. I was thinking the same thing when I saw that

I was like "You rape a wife the same way you rape anyone else, by force-you jagoff!" :mad:
