When making a comparison (NOT a legal argument as-it-stands, but a moral argument of how-it-ought), that is exactly HOW you would. If both the physical and deceptive theft of property are treated as serious crimes, why would deceptive sexual predation be any better? If a contract for goods and services would be so…

Your own experience is valid to YOU, but doesn't invalidate those of millions of others. To use a tired old term, it sounds like you've had a... dare I say... privileged existence. Oh, my.
Then I think she's arguing a load of crap. An agreement on false pretenses is the defintion of fraud. If consent is not treated as any other form of legal agreement, we're saying that sex has 'no take-backsies', thus granting tacit approval to such actions. A matter of degree?
That would fall to legal review- it shouldn't be discounted out of hand. History, witnesses, various records - public and private - can go a long way towards building a case. To be frank? Leave practice to practice - it's an irrelevant point when debating the definitions.
So you're saying the rape is not legitimate? Was it all "shut down"?
On that we'll just have to disagree. Consent based on fraudulent information, regardless of the history of enforcement, ought to invalidate the consent. You aren't held to any other fraudulent agreement and can seek civil and criminal recourse. Why not rape?
Today I learned- tragedy and exploitation are okay as long as we pretend it never happened. Everything is fine now! Because remembering history is rude. So....
Um. I'm pretty sure that even if you want a different category, false promise rape is still pretty despicable. We have laws against armed buglary, but also have laws against fraud. We don't call fraud burglary, but we generally agree it is a super-bad thing. I think it doesn't derail the discussion to account for…
1. And?
I have read your opinion. I am criticizing it with the free speech rights granted to us by God and/or the social contract, hallowed and defended by the sacrifices of our common forefathers and foremothers. I have taken into consideration your views, and conclude?
New question - why is that a BAD thing? Maybe you need a little gay cake in the face. You'll learn that you are not allergic.
By saying and doing nothing to offend bigots, we are showing bigots, all right. "My way of life disturbs you. Guess I better hide it in a box-like room...a closet, maybe?"
"Well, I've decided this slavery thing is kind of fucked up. I think I'll stop working now."
That is some grade A crazy shit right there. It is kinda special when it's the FIRST TIME it happens. We have politicians kiss wives they often don't even like for every dinner, event, and clap they get. You have a shot of someone celebrating with a loved one and you're freaking out? "You're not a bigot, but..." Kinda…
Sorry again! Kinja routed my message oddly. It looked like your post linked to someone bringing up Canada's issues with its indigenous peoples.
Ah, my bad. I blame Kinja. There was a related post about indigenous peoples in Canada and I seem to have hit the wrong Reply. Alas! My bad.
That flag flew over plantations for a good long while. It flew over segregated schools. It flies over courthouses that define marriage with a religious authority. That flag has flown over countries before and after innocents have suffered. Flags ARE hollow gestures.
Any time you are about to say, "Not all..." just stop. Stop. You are making your ego bigger than a history and present tense of hurts. You didn't do it personally? Okay. Then it should bug you even more, as you will wear that badge your whole life. Just like the beaten down.
Respect is earned. And it sounds like this kid respects our nation's principles more than a hollow gesture. Good for him.
