- "Perhaps" is an mighty powerful word here......don't you think?
-
- My point was that I think sex has something to do with rape. It is
- an action of voilence, but it is sexual...no matter how sick it is.
-
- Another point is is that I don't believe that on issue on issue women
- and men are equal just because we are humans. As far as rights go we
- are equal (meaning we should all have the very exact same rights). But
- as far as emotions, thoughts, and actions go I am tired of nerdering the
- 'genders' whenever we try and discuss these biological differences. Just
- like we have taken sex out of rape. We will never get a handle on problems
- out there if we keep eliminating objective thought.
-
- Like AIDS. Current beliefs are....but I do keep an eye on the fringe
- beliefs too. I am not going to go down the proper approved road especially
- what with how huge this disease is now....We cannot be narrow minded on
- any issue....
