I wouldn't say the stripper deserved it, but I'd have a lot more sympathy for a, how to put it, more chaste rape victim.

Who-hoo! First submission of mine that gets an award, and without anybody even asking for it!
Is there standard terminology for separating "rare Jesus-following empathetic Christian" from "pig-headed, unsympathetic, bigoted, and/or dumbass Christian"?
>>A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married.<<
You know, I heard some girl in a spaghetti strap shirt and shorts say almost exactly this same thing. She shut up quite fast when I pointed out that, in Muslim countries, they would say that she was asking for it by dressing the way she did.
WJ, Amos covered it in #30451
Strippers are, essentially, actresses. It is their job to ACT sexy, alluring, and willing; but that doesn't mean that they are necessarily like that offstage, in real life -- and even if they were, "No" means NO!
Notice, once again, this attitude is expressed toward female victims of rape, but never any other crime. Don't think for a moment, women's rights and equality have advanced that far in the minds of many. The fight is far from over.
Hadanelith,
JESUS NED! SHE'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!
BILL NAPOLI: A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life.
What if she had a long-term boyfriend, but was unmarried, had had sex previously but was unmarried, a widow, non-religious, a spinster, disabled, or a divorcee? Are you suggesting they deserve it somehow? Why do you get to decide who is "chaste" and who is not?
So the only way you'd empathize with a rape victim is if she was the bastion of purity, then?
People like you nauseate me.
Strippers...are NOT...the same thing...as prostitutes!
And if they didn't want it, rape is rape is rape, no matter who it's happening to.
Some strippers do it to put food on the table for their kids.
I have a lot of sympathy with, how to put it, a person forced to have sex against his or her will.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
