Exactly, Red. Rip sees nothing wrong with the MAN raping his wife up the ass. Women are inferior objects and only serve as temptations. But, then again, Rip prefers the man-sex but just won't admit it.
Of course there's something wrong with it, if it's true.
The woman's statements don't stand up scrutiny so I seriously question her allegations.
The woman's statements stand up quite adequately for those of us who can apply an
understanding of the situation (and possible positions) involved. It is you who seems
unable to engage in scrutiny.
You seem to have formed the opinion that there is only one possible position from
which this "alleged" non-consensual sodomy could have taken place. And that
it would not be possible for her to resist from that position.
The first flaw I see in that analysis, is that if you have ever been in bed with
a significant other, you would have noticed occasions where one is subject to
kicks, elbows and even head butting... while the other person is facing away
from you. As others have also pointed out, applying those actions as
part of an effort to resist possible assualt is made even easier by the simple
action of turning the upper or lower body in either direction as needed to
remove the other person from close proximity to the body.
The second flaw is, if I read your description accurately, your implication
that Dr. Hager was actively seeking to subdue or bind his wife in such a
fashion as to make it more difficult to refuse his advances. Otherwise
it is
physically impossible for an otherwise heathly adult female to
not be able to resist in some fashion. The simple act of trying to cross
ones legs and "clenching up" (for example) would be a sufficient signal of
unwillingness for most spouses to recognize and respect.
IANAL, but as I understand it a charge of "sexual and emotional abuse" would
be enough to allow the granting of a divorce in a court of law. Unless those records
were sealed it should be possible to check the proceedings leading to the divorce decree
to determine if Ms. Davis made those same charges at the time.
Otherwise she is potentially opening herself up to a charge of slander if her statements
to the reporter do not reflect the claims she made during the filing for divorce.
