I mean, this one is kind of more humor/stand up based than some of my other entries (as you know, I do tend to go that route sometimes more than just plain truthfulness) so I can see where the spousal rape is yes, considered wrong, but that part was more to get laughs anyways. However, I shall NEVER budge on my issue for statuatory because everyone is different. See, yes, you’re right in the sense that people below a certain age are NOT emotionally, mentally or physically ready, but since everyone is DIFFERENT, it REALLY depends on the person. Just because studies say that’s true, doesn’t MAKE it officially true. Some people below that age really ARE different, and believe me, I believe studies too, so it’s a hard one to guess. But to each his own, considering my blog is all about voicing your own opinion and standing firm for what YOU personally believe in.

But yes, rape whistles are a terrible fucking idea. That one I think EVERYONE can agree on.

The logic behind statuatory rape is that people below a certain age are not emotionally, mentally, or physically ready to have sex, and therefore they cannot be trusted to make the right decision. If you’re an emotionally confused teenage girl, and a twenty-year-old man is telling you that this would make him very happy and that he loves you very much, do you really think you’d be thinking straight at this point? Consent is a very fuzzy issue with minors.

Rape whistles, though… I tend to agree with you there. No one will come running if they hear a whistle, especially if it happens at night.
