Wife Can’t Be Raped If She Wears Nightie, Says Politician Named Dick
Wife Can’t Be Raped If She Wears Nightie, Says Politician Named Dick
In the ongoing War on Women, it's hard for a member of the political He Man Woman Haters Club to distinguish himself above other the suit wearers with side parted hair who think they know what's best for women. That's why Virginia Delegate Dick Black is special.

Black really goes above and beyond by advocating outlawing abortion in all cases, even to preserve the life of the mother, sending tiny plastic fetuses to pro choice Virginia lawmakers, advocating for "conscience laws" that allow pharmacists to use "morals" as justification for not dispensing birth control to adult women (also known as using "non-science" as an excuse for "not doing their jobs"). Black hates birth control so much that in 2004, he referred to birth control as "baby pesticides," which is accurate because nothing gets rid of babies that won't stay away from your tomato plants like a dusting of Yaz.

The "nightie= get out of rape free card" quote actually came from a speech Black made during a legislative debate in 2002, but his legislative opponent has brought it to light again in a new ad. Black said,

"I don't know how on earth you could validly get a conviction in a husband-wife rape when they're living together, sleeping in the same bed, she's in a nightie and so forth. There's no injury, there's no separation, or anything."

1. I apologize to the men of the world but sometimes I think we'd be better off without ya.
I know not all men think and feel the same way this asswipe does but when I read stuff like this I sometimes think we'd be better off as a Matriarchal society.

30. As a man ... I'm amazed that women have anything to do with us.
At some point, I think women will put we men into farms and keep us around for breading purposes, carrying heavy stuff, opening jars, and killing bugs.

As a woman I really appreciate that you expressed that sentiment. It can be hard to be a woman and express just how deeply a lot of men have negatively impacted your world without being accussed of being a "man-hater". :hi:

47. Thanks for taking my comment as intended ...
My wife and I have been married for about 22 years ... We met at work. Well, at a party of work folks really. We were not working in the same area.

We started to date. And then ... some one began to leave a single rose on her car in the parking lot. Sometimes with a note.

Scared the crap out of her.

One of her friends came to me and said ... are YOU doing it??

I was blown away ... but it was a fair question. But it was not me.

One night, I was at her apartment, and she got a call claiming to be from the apartment complex manager where she lived ... they thought some one had tried to break into her car ... and that she should come out and check. So I went out to her car. And there was this guy standing there. When he realized that I was coming over to him (not her), he ran. I did not see him clearly.

It turned out that one of the security guards at the company was doing it.

She was working late one night and he just showed up in her office. Asked if she was ok, said he'd protect her. She told him she was fine. And then he said that he was the one leaving the roses and the notes. He said that when she was ready to leave, he'd walk her down to her car.

She said "great" ... and then said she need to finish some thing, and that she'd be done in about 30 minutes.

He said OK, I have some other areas to check, and I'll come back.

As soon as he left, she called me, and I raced over. And so when he returned to her office, I was already there.

She (being too nice a person) did not want him to get fired. But when the management confronted him, he explained how he did the roses, the notes, how he would go to her appartment and "make sure she was ok" ... dude was nuts.

And as crazy as THAT story is ... my wife has had many others in the last 20 years.

Guys that know she is married hitting on her ... married guys hitting on her. And yes, married guys UP THE MANAGEMENT chain hitting on her.

And I have to give her credit, she has yet to kill one of them.

She's navigated the shark pool over and over, and yet, she knows she does not make what her male counterparts make.

But she fights on. And my respect for her does nothing but increase.

She has every reason to hate men, but she doesn't.

35. Men are essential
as sources of sperm. i remember Isaac Asimov saying men were animated bags of sperm. Perhaps the world would be a better place if the male population were only large enough to continue reproduction. But it is also true there are a lot of Palins and Bachmanns and Coulters in this world. A matriarchal society would be good. I consider my mother's lineage more important than my father's.

37. Some native American tribes had matriarchal societies. The
new husband joined the wife's extended family at marriage and went back to his own people if/when she divorced him.

Tracing family through matriarchy gets rid of all the nonsense about preserving the "chastity" of the bride or wife because in a matriarchy, it doesn't matter much who provides the sperm.

And I think that's exactly why the anti-contraceptive crowd is kicking up such a fuss -- they know perfectly damn well that a sperm hitting an egg does not create "a human being," but they can't bring themselves to face how miniscule their contribution actually is.

41. There is an interesting article in this month's
issue of the Atlantic about marriage. The author talks about the Mosuo people in SW China, where the women don't marry and lineage is through the mother. twwo books reference: Unhitched and Sex at Dawn.

44. I think it's a great system because the children have mother,
grand-mother and great-grand looking after them and aren't just thrown out into the street.

Love the Atlantic, will check this out, thanks.

Over the last few years. While the northern (and most populous) part of the state tends to be slightly left, the southern part of the state is very, very red.

...if his nightie-wearing wife slipped a large sex toy past his boxers and up his ass while he was sleeping next to her.

They're living together, after all, and sleeping in the same bed together, and he's in his boxers and so forth.

I think that men, who are generally the penetrators, don't realize what a big deal it is.

Not that I fully, emotionally grasp it either, but the ex had her share of bad experiences, so at least intellectually I get it's a Big Fucking Deal.

27. oh geez, lol. so funny
when oldest son was a newborn, what comforted him most was skin on skin. naked. showers. hubby taking off shirt and putting him on chest to sleep. i told a friend. she was appauled, but also envious. religion in her house means hide naked cause it is only linked to sexuality. i grew up with naked just being... body. i think about her often. she knew our way was more healthy, but she couldnt do it.

this reminds me of her.

36. I think "turned on" has very little to do with it, and marital rape is
a matter of proving dominance, asserting the "right" of the man to get his rocks off whenever he wishes, and if the woman tries to resist, that just means the rape will be rougher and hurt worse.

I wish I had no experience with this issue. I wish no woman had any experience with this. But apparently some men can't be married without becoming possessive pigs. This behavior leads to divorce (if she can muster up the courage) and/or beatings or worse.

I wonder how Mrs. Dick feels about marital rape.

They are clothes, they just get in the way. Mine doesn't wear anything to bed, so by that reasoning I guess she can be raped??? She's asking for it, to be raped?
