You Can't Prosecute Spousal Rape! Those Women Wear Nighties! [VIDEO]

Virginia will be holding elections next Tuesday, and some of the candidates running for state legislature are so frightening, that their election could literally strip women of all of their rights.

One such candidate? Delegate Dick Black. Black is best known as an anti-abortion politician, determined to end a woman’s right to chose in any means possible. In his own legislative career he has fought to allow pharmacies to refuse to sell birth control, which he once referred to as “baby pesticides,” and even sent little plastic pink fetuses to his collegues in order to garner support for his bills.

As if that weren’t bad enough, then there is his belief that it’s not worth it to try and prosecute cases of spousal rape, because how could you ever prove it wasn’t consensual? After all, she was “wearing a nightie” in bed.

Dick Black is a candidate from the same district that recently sent out a mailer depicting Obama shot in the head. He’s also favored to win his senate seat. Better stop wearing your nighties to bed, ladies, I hear that means you automatically consent to sex.

What if a man got raped? Then what would he say?

Newly elected Virginia State Senator Richard (Dick) Black has just introduced SB610, which specifically identifies working dogs, hunting dogs, and show dogs as "agricultural livestock" AND prohibits any local entity from regulating humane treatment of agricultural animals!

Gina h, I couldn't agree more that this is the case in some instances. Then there are women that act like lts a commodity. Again I do not agree on rape at all. But is it ok to tease a man only to reject him. See those are mental games, that is not ok either. I personally have walked away from situations in my life. But, I could see how others could react differently. So many variables to be considered

What a misogynist! Maybe if Dicks like him would treat women with respect and dignity, they could get a nice consensual relationship with their wives. Everyone would be happy. This is why I think that more women should be in office. Here is an interesting article about if men got pregnant... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joyce-mcfadden/the-reality-index-if-men-_b_93564.html

But then again, if men got pregnant and gave birth, women would be in charge, and everything would be more fair in the first place now, wouldn't it?

This is NOT to pick on those men who are on our side. There are many a good men, but, men like this one, blah. He's not a man, he's a two year old in an old man suit throwing tantrums about life isn't fair.

Robert P., yeah men have "needs" but they don't "need" to resort to rape to get their needs met unless they're sick pricks. Maybe if some of these men took time to make sex pleasant for their wives instead of pleasing themselves first all of the time, the wives wouldn't be refusing them. That and taking a shower more than 3 times a week...
