Yeah, that’s what I meant. Thanks.

We are at jezebel. I think everyone here knows what the definition of consent is. I think everyone here knows what the definition of rape is with regard to consent. I think everyone can agree that according to this system of ethics, this woman was raped.

There is nothing “loving” about a man who continues to have sex with a severely incapacitated woman even after he is told by professional caregivers who are responsible to advocate on behalf of their impaired patient that they do not believe she is capable of consent

I’ve been trying to make this point elsewhere.

I didn’t say it was ethical. I said “I’m not so sure”

Because I actually had a married set of grandparents one of whom suffered from sever dementia before she died. I saw my grandma lose her mind, but I also saw a women who still wanted companionship, wanted to be touched, wanted a meaningful relationship, and yeah, wanted sex.

I’m not sure it’s as terrifying as you think it is.

I wasn’t really being facetious. I’m a little young to worry about this at the moment, but I would totally add a clause to my will that allows my wife to keep sleeping with me.

Legally, you are in the right, no doubt. But ethically? I’m not so sure.

Alternate headline:

Maybe he didn’t agree with it? Maybe the thought of having a medical doctor come between his love for his wife didn’t really agree with him? Maybe he feels like he knows her better than the doctor does? Maybe, just maybe he could be right about this, and this is actually a total grey area that feminist theory doesn’t…

How charitable of you.

I have some really difficult and conflicting feelings about this.

Yup. same story here. Almost every article of clothing I ever purchased myself, or had purchased for me as a minor, came off a sale’s rack. This despite the fact that my parent’s income would put them in the upper middle class. I’ve never looked sharp. I still don’t, and I really don’t care to start. I got teased, but…

Yup. I also hate when people call other people “trash.”

For you yeah, that makes sense,

You think that’s a good way to do it? Maybe you’re right.

Not every single domestic issue.

I know you aren’t joking. I also don’t think your strategy is a bad one from your perspective. I just think it is worth reminding you and everyone else that doign so is contributing to a pretty crappy political phenomenon.

All the “I really don’t feel so great voting for her BUT...” comments make me ill.
