Able to, and it being smart to are not the same. And how many of them are doing it with significant government assistance. With enough bailouts anything is possible!
Still avoiding the point, I see. Many single parents raise kids without government assistance and live well above the poverty level.
Well that is basically how feminists figure out how people are raped. Sorry if your liberal comrades suck.
As I alluded to when you originally raised this point, feminists are not an authority on this subject. I prefer to base by premises on verified data. You are arguing using data that has already been proven to be questionable at best. We call that a straw man argument. Arguing against an absurd position because you cannot argue successfully against the actual position.
What would that tell you? Maybe men are just emotionally stronger? And you didnt provide any statistics on rape and suicide either.
Men commit suicide after being raped, so that kinda shows that your guess that men are just emotionally stronger doesn't explain away the difference. My motive for asking you 'how many men kill themselves after finding out [that their child is not really theirs]' was not for you to provide me the statistic, because as I said, I do not think that statistic has been studied. I asked because I wanted you to think about it. If you do think about it, you will realize that you have never heard of a man killing himself for that reason. Yet, if you google 'man commits suicide after rape' you will find many headlines of men doing just that. Again, this should lead you to question why you think rape is a lesser crime than paternity fraud.
All I can do is give you some evidence though, it is up to you to use your brain and think about it.
The conservative argument for rape being a serious crime basically would come down to sex being special. This probably largely stems from sex leading to pregnancy. Conservatives also value purity which rape obviously violates. Anal rape would violate concepts of purity, and the concept of sex being special.
No, that is your argument. Don't try to pass that shit off as a conservative argument because you would be offending conservatives everywhere.
And note once again you have failed to make the liberal argument for why rape is such a serious crime.
Rape is a kind of assault. Assault is bad. Therefore, rape is bad. Assault hurts the victim. Therefore, rape hurts the victim. There are different degrees of assault just like there are different degrees of rape.
As a thought exercise consider this situation. A young sorority girl gets drunk and passes out at a party. Say some people decided to draw over her face with markers; this would not be considered a big deal. No say instead some frat boys decided to jerk off over her face; this would be considered a big deal and possibly lead to sexual assault charges. Please explain from a liberal perspective what the difference is.
First of all, I am not sure your facial example would qualify as 'rape.' However, it is worse for the simple reason that semen has the potential to spread STDs. Not sure why you can't recognize the difference.
So, how's your relationship with your mother?
