(115,425 posts)That is false in every way.
BTW, we've had major issues-- in the many years DU has been here-- with men (and i can only assume from your chosen posting name that you are a male) attempting to call out the site's feminist women to mansplain and lecture US on issues related to rape, assault, access to birth control, abortion, and other high impact issues to women and those others capable of giving birth. Yes, anyone can be raped, but the issue in this case is female rape, female assault, and intentional destruction of a condom in use with a female potentially at "risk" for pregnancy and certainly STIs. For that reason, we have a number of feminist forums, but these issues obviously are likewise discussed in GD. I would urge you to refrain from moving from interactive civil discussion to accusatory affront. That my issue was a legal discussion for an important issue that impacts women, but for which --even on this thread--some invalid information is being promoted is what I sought to correct. We (especially those of us who engage and lobby on change re: these issues ) certainly need to understand the facts of what we are dealing with. Kindly take my admonition to heart.
