“I consider marriage to mean ongoing consent to sex”
I’ve been married for 40 years. THe idea that she cannot say ‘no’ makes me throw up. Just a little bit. In my mouth.
“(at least until a separation), and find the concept of "marital rape" to be oxymoronic.”
So, you’ve never even heard of the cliched ‘not tonight, I have a headache’?
Nowhere in the vows we took or the rest of the ceremony did ANYONE mention that she had waived any right to consent.
“Rape means having sex with someone without their consent, and your spouse has already consented to sex by marrying you.”
Not really. She’s HAS promised that IF she has sex, she’ll only have sex with me. She hasn’t promised to ever actually have the sex.
Technically, I have to consent, too. It’s just the only time in 40 years that i was not up for sex, she took me to the ER. Kinda insistent that i was not going to ‘sleep it off,’ we were going right now.
“I believe so-called "rape" in a marriage should only be illegal inasmuch as it involves physical assault.”
Sex without consent IS physical assault, genius.
“So, because of this viewpoint, I have a question that I'd like people who call themselves "blue pill" or "purple pill" to answer.”
Does anyone call themselves blue-pilled?
“If a husband has sex with his blackout drunk wife, is it rape?”
If she doesn’t consent, it’s rape.
If she’s not capable of consent, it’s rape.
If she’s agreed to sex, and during the sex changes her mind, and you continue, it’s rape.
It’s not really all that complicated.
