Forcible rape is a legal term of art, which distinguishes it from statutory rape. Forcible, as the name implies is not consensual, whereas statutory rape can be consensual. No one, including Paul Ryan and the GOP, is suggesting that rape of any kind is ever legitimate.

VAWA was signed into law in 1994.

You're somewhat right, I have a basic sense of the issues, but was not disingenuous when I asked for specific examples. rokokobang provided an excellent analysis which I very much appreciate.

Men are not more assertive than women? Okay.

I appreciate your smart, reasoned and fact based analysis. You've convinced me that I'm on the wrong side of some of these issues, particularly the contraceptive issue. I had not considered that birth control is prescribed for issues other than birth control nor had I considered the insurance pool scenario that you…

Legitimate rape: Statement by one idiot congressional candidate and roundly criticized and disavowed by the entire Republican Party.

Okay. As you know, you're right, platitudes are much more valuable than substantive discussion. Whew! That was a close call. Thanks for straightening me out.

Perhaps you can enlighten us as to how, exactly, the GOP is oppressing you.

Okay.

Well done.

I don't know, maybe, probably. I'm having four or five different conversations, what was my question?

I've never heard that phrase at work but I suppose it fits our culture. We are all in our mid 30's to mid 40's and most of the guys aren't married. They live a bachelors life with all the trappings and benefits of being an executive at a corporation. I myself enjoy the occasional drink or two a few times a week but…

I'm not really one to worry about such things. I'm very selfish and rarely think of other people's feelings. I'm not a jerk though, I don't go out of my way to be inconsiderate or insensitive (which would make me a jerk), it doesn't occur to me, which makes me insensitive and inconsiderate, two things I have been…

Perhaps. Anyone who is sensitive is not going to enjoy our company because the teasing is brutal. The least personal or professional flaw is picked on without mercy.

I have my moments.

I wouldn't get my panties in a knot over it but it does have a, "stick in the mud" feel to it.

We could get class certification and really cash in on the long pig.

Honestly no. There is only one female executive and I would never ask her to join us for drinks, for several reasons. First, I don't really care to have drinks with her, I'm not interested in being friendly with her, not that there is anything wrong with her, but I want to keep things professional. Second, I am…
