If all of that was your original intention through that entire post, then I obviously fucked up somewhere. But, LIKE I SAID, you can’t throw so many things onto one side of the scale and not expect me to take notice of the other side that has pretty much nothing.

“This bill takes us backwards to a time when just saying no wasn’t enough to qualify as rape.”
Other types of rapes that would no longer be covered by the exemption include rapes in which the woman was drugged or given excessive amounts of alcohol, rapes of women with limited mental capacity, and many date rapes.
