re: #20 LudwigVanQuixote

I’d have preferred to have this discussion without throwing around the term “whores” or “sluts” in any context. A lizard who apparently over-invested his precious respect in my pixels lost much of it yesterday because he thought my discussing the actual documented facts and evidence surrounding the Assange case was somehow unseemly. Whatever your intent, your editorializing about FOX News anchor women fits that term rather more closely, and either way we’re ranging pretty far afield now from the original discussion of how various rape laws actually work, both in theory and application.

They stand for things I consider evil. I despise their values. The thought of being intimate with a woman like that is repulsive to me. That she would invade my mental space by trying to project her sexuality into it, with an agenda that I find repulsive, makes me despise her instead of just her ideas.

Operationally what you’re describing here isn’t that different from homophobia. If somebody you don’t like and aren’t attracted to tries to invade your “mental space” with a projection of their sexuality, that’s no reason to despise them. Just let it go, they can’t “make” you feel anything, your reaction is always your choice.
