I swear to Christ, where do these jerk-offs come from?
Utah State Representative Brian Greene (R) is concerned that a bill making its way through the state legislature might just declare sex with an unconscious person as rape.
His concern? Not all those young people who party a little too hard and are taken advantage of, not any of those helpless sedated folks being molested in their hospital beds, limp and unaware, nor any such assortment of terrible examples that one could dream up that can and do happen on the regular. Instead, Rep. Greene is worried about all those husbands, and, er? wives too, he guesses (he’s not sure), who engage in sexual activity with their sleeping spouses. He’s worried that will be considered rape and suddenly all these ?innocent? husbands (oh, and wives ? can’t forget the wives) will wind up in prison on rape charges.
Isn?t that just so, um, UNJUST? One can certainly understand Rep. Greene’s significant concern in this matter, surely.
There’s just one thing, though, Greene seems to fail to understand ? that’s STILL RAPE!
It is! Really!
Local prosecutors and anti-rape advocates, of course, want to remove any and all ambiguity around the matter. Apparently, these things really need to be tacked down in black and white for every dip out there who thinks they can f*ck anything and anyone they want, whether they’re awake, asleep, agree, disagree. It’s all so confusing, you know, trying to figure out if someone is awake and willing, isn’t it?
Greene vocalized his asinine concerns Tuesday while the bill was being considered before the Utah Judiciary Committee. He seemed quite confused as to whether screwing an unconscious person was or should be considered rape. Greene was willing to grant that engaging in sexual activity with an unconscious person on, say, a first date, would be wrong ? maybe even rape! But Greene was less certain about where the lines stood when it came to one’s spouse, or even someone who one has simply been involved in a sexual relationship with for any given amount of time.
Honestly, though, who thinks it is okay to start hammering away on their spouse or mate in the dead of sleep? That’s just creepy, wrong, and (guess what) rape!
Yep, you can rape your spouse, and certainly a boyfriend or girlfriend, and if that lover is not awake to give consent ? surprise! ? that’s rape. Duh!
Greene then hilariously went on to ? ahem ? clarify that he was ?not at all trying to justify sexual activity with an unconscious person.?
Oh, no? Because it sure sounded like he was.
It seems he was not trying to justify sleeping with unconscious people, only trying to make sure that if someone did do so, they wouldn’t be considered a rapist. Let’s just frown upon them, instead. That’s all something like that should entail, don’t you think?
Shamefully, Greene had company in his concerns. Rep. LaVar Christensen felt defining rape as including sex with an unconscious partner would be ?too broad.?
Aren?t you just dying to know under what set of circumstances these yahoos think screwing an unconscious person who has not given consent would be acceptable behavior?
And is that extremely rare example, if one can even dream one up, enough to outweigh all the other blatant examples of rape that occur when one is unconscious and vulnerable?
How many lovers wake up in the morning and ask their partner, ?Hey, did you have sex with me last night?? and then simply accept an affirmative answer and carry on their day as if they were thinking, ?Oh, isn’t that nice,? or, ?Gee, I wish I could remember that,? in order to savor all the sultry details?
None, because it never happens. These idiots are living in a free-range insane asylum and their d*cks need some good old shock therapy. Plenty of others might even push for full-on lobotomies. Understand?
Lucky for the sane people who remain and live in Utah, Greene and Christensen relented their weak grip on unconscious sex without consent in the end. The committee unanimously passed the bill; it now moves on to the full house.
Hey, everyone has to make sacrifices once in a while, right?
Good lord?
