George Galloway - insertion not rape

301 replies

Just read a tweet where it is suggested former MP George Galloway feels that once a woman decides to have a sex with a men he can have sex with her subsequently, while she sleeps, as the man doesn't need consent for each "insertion"! In his view, this does not constitute rape. WTF! This is his defence of the allegations against Assange.

oh there's lots. Allowing an article that claims black people have a lower I.Q. - i.e. contracted a racist bigot to write for him. Homophobic over 'normal' v gay marriage.
Usually, when you find a xenophobe and a racist occupying the same head space, you're going to find a dreadful sexist.

George's analysis is something Boris could have come up with, one suspects.

Agreed lazarusb.

Galloway's a wanker and a woman-hater and always has been. He's the classic white lefty misogynist who thinks he gets all the cool points by being on the side of non-white men, and should anyone point out the misogyny of any non-white male organisation he likes to hang out with, he's horrible to them and basically says 'Women's stuff doesn't matter'."

Spot on.

Boris comes out with offensive shit from time tontine as well - and that's got what to do with this pan, exactly? This isn't a left and right thing, this is a known quantity arse goes one further by revealing himself as rape apologist kind of thing.

TheCrackFox · 20/08/2012 19:51

I'm a bit confused as to why Boris is even being discussed here. Galloway has always been a tosser but he has really shown his true colours here - he hates women.

LePan · 20/08/2012 19:53

Chubfuddler - you should ask the posters who invoked Boris' name, not me. I was merely providing an illuminatory service.

hth.

Chubfuddler · 20/08/2012 19:58

No, it was you who raised boris's track record as some sort of defence to GG. So it doesn't help, actually.

You're being incredibly chippy about this thread. Do you accept inserting a penis into a sleeping woman's vagina is rape or not?

LePan · 20/08/2012 20:00

Chub - read the thread properly please. Defence of GG's views?? You'll have to point that out.

TheDoctrineOfEnnis · 20/08/2012 20:05

Really, why don't some politicians grasp that the law is not what they'd like it to be, but what it actually is?

LePan · 20/08/2012 20:07

fwwiw Chub I am too cool to answer you're goading question. Have reported it as such.

Because, Ennis, and I'm sure this isn't going to be a popular view, a lot of politicians are rapists. A lot of ordinary men are rapists. A lot of men don't understand what constitutes rape and when they discover that something they've done, something they considered "a bit cheeky" or "poor sexual etiquette" is in fact a crime they would rather attack victims and belittle women than to admit that they are in fact rapists.

chibi · 20/08/2012 20:08

so easy to be blase about these kinds of stupid remarks which then get widely reported and ultimately help to validate and reinforce crappy misconceptions about rape when they ultimately will not have any real impact on your own personal life safety or happiness

must be fun to weigh in a what to you is a wholly academic debate - ' sure rape is bad, but hey he's a character and his heart's in the right place. i like his politics! and besides x figure on the other side is a dick too'

barf barf barf barf

LePan · 20/08/2012 20:08

or your goading question even!

Chubfuddler · 20/08/2012 20:09

A goading question? Asking you whether you accept a definition of rape is goading?

Rightio.

Chubfuddler · 20/08/2012 20:10

Indeed chibi. Completely agree.

TheDoctrineOfEnnis · 20/08/2012 20:10

Cailin, I think you are right. I never thought of it like that.

That's chilling.

Chubfuddler · 20/08/2012 20:11

Yes I agree with you too cailin.

LePan · 20/08/2012 20:13

chibi - you appear to have a very detailed knowledge about how I think. I've reported your 'goading too. I have posted nothing in support of GG's attitude or views on this case.

chibi · 20/08/2012 20:13

do you know i think if you did a search of all of my posts 'barf' must be in at least 72% of them?

world can you please stop throwing out misogynist bullshit for me to barf at ithankyou

why do you assume i am referring to you pan? i guess my post was goading to people who treat galloway's nonesense as a way to idle away a few moments, before they move on to the next thing.

was that you too? i did not realise.

anyway, report your socks off chief Grin

LePan · 20/08/2012 20:21

yes, chibi, I will report as your posts breach Talk Guidelines, imo - don't know if HQ would agree, but that's their view to take.
