according to this bristol palin was so drunk when she conceived her son that she doesn't remember having sex.

Sounds like rape to me.

Then she was basically 'forced' to marry her rapist? WTF! Sometimes America sounds more like the middle east!

Quite a few forums are discussing this, with some

disgusting rape myths on this forum

A bit Hmm about Families Need Fathers. As far as I'm aware, DS is better off without his alcoholic, abusive, misognistic father in his life. If the group was Families Need Responsible Parents, I'd agree with it.

Now, HRH, I'm aware you said DSD admitted to lying. I'm not going to say she's lying about lying, as I wasn't there, at the time. The problem I have is that you're using it to justify the view point that Bristol may have lied.

Lied about what, exactly? Bristol has described a scenario which may or may not have been consensual (albeit drunken) sex. She hasn't said "Levi raped me." Those words were put on the page by someone that read the passage. How can Bristol be lying if it was someone else that said it?

Rape victims are already accused of lying in the courts, by families, by the media... I had hoped I'd never read it on the feminist section of Mumsnet. Because, to me, it doesn't sit comfortably.

Alice - I am really confused as to why you object to me quoting from a good article which you posted. I haven't tried to decontextualise any of the quotes, and summed up the article for anyone reading who hadn't read it.

Objecting to my use of quotes from an article you posted is very strange, I'm afraid!

AliceWhirled · 25/06/2011 11:01

Macaroona, as you know I posted that article in direct response to your question of why there was no sex/drink limit. I posted it in its entirety to shed some light on that aspect. Decontextualising passages and using them to back up what I am saying does not really interest me. But if you want to do that, then I think it is important to highlight that.

Edam - Bristol is, it's in the OP.
