Re: Is it rape?
[quote name="Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS)"][quote name="CattleHumper"]a film about a woman helping her friend getting an abortion [deleted] There's a scene where they cant' afford the abortion, and the roommate sleeps with the abortionist to pay for the procedure [deleted] but the people on IMDB are calling it rape. My question: does this constitute rape? A woman agreed to have sex with a man in order to get him to help her. [/quote] It's not rape, it's prostitution. But there are some so-called "feminists" who think if a woman gives sex to get something, she was raped. It's part of the "victimization of women" in which "all men are animals." If we classified any case where a woman sold herself to get something as rape, 3/4 of all men would be up on charges. It also degrades and cheapens the true meaning of actual rape reports. If virtually anything not involving force or lack of consent can be twisted into being called rape, it makes real rapes look less serious than they are. [quote name="CattleHumper"]Side note: I was dating the love of my life, and she got pregnant by accident. She miscarried, and the doctor had to remove the fetus. She called that incident her abortion for the rest of our time together. Should that fact alone have been a reason to leave her behind?[/quote] Technically she is right. Do you know what the true technical term for a miscarriage is? "Spontaneous abortion." Sounds like the kind a woman got if she did it on the spur of the moment, but technically a miscarriage is a type of abortion, albeit a natural one rather than a caused one.

Who knows what sad facet of my life will be revealed next?[/quote] I think AOL had a "drunk cancel" function at some point, in which it delayed sending your message for 30 seconds so that after you clicked "send" if you then realized you didn't mean to send or should not have sent the message, you could cancel it during that 30 second window before it went out.
