Is "legitimate rape" placed in quotes and considered offensive because women

No, because it's condescending as hell. No detective arrives on a murder scene and immediately say "is this legitimate murder or an overly elaborate suicide" to a family. Saying "legitimate rape" implies little sympathy for the victim and distrust of them.

You mean "rape" or "rape-rape"?



Whooppi needs to know.

Or did I dream UVA, Duke Lacross, Tawana Brawley and 1000s of other illigitimate rapes that didn't make national news?

You're not really doing this correctly.

The issue is not between rape and false accusations of rape. That's a separate discussion.

The "legitimate rape" debate involves distinguishing between two drunk college kids where she may be too drunk to consent, and forcible rape at gunpoint or some other act of sociopathic violence.

Obviously there is a difference. The reason you're not allowed to acknowledge the difference is because the fringe radical feminists want to expand the rape label as far as possible. They want the forcible rapist and the guy who has sex with his drunk girlfriend to be one and the same. They'd respond to this post claiming I condoned date rape, which is laughably untrue, and it would prove my point. But clearly there is a difference between violently raping someone and fuzzy sex in which a guy may have taken advantage of a girl but there are differing accounts. That's where the "legitimate rape" thing comes from, I believe.

It's placed in quotes and deliberately aimed to offend because of that dumbass in Missouri used that phrase.




Edited for spelling.

"legitimate rape"

It's placed in quotes mainly because of the moron in Kansas or Missouri that said that if a rape was legitimate, a woman couldn't get pregnant from it.

No because republican congressmen running for Senate are theocratic simpletons.

I don't think so. Rape is terrible but even worse are people who falsify rape claims.
