4th law of robotics

5. On the far right it takes the form of religion

on the far left it takes a multitude of forms, most prominently the rad-fem movement.

Take out the justifications (god/the patriarch/sin/objectification/etc) and the arguments are the same: lists of what consenting adults should *not* be allowed to do because the speaker has some personal issue with those behaviors.

/at least those on the far right don't try to prohibit all PIV sex. Just those between unmarried individuals. Or those of different religions. The really kooky arguments on this actually come from the left: sincere pleas that PIV intercourse is an entirely traumatic, unenjoyable, and unnatural construct of the Patriarchy to keep women down. I wish I were creative enough to make that up.
