So if the women does the same thing it's not rape?

Women use sex to control men. So they think that men rape women to "control" them.

It's There in Hansard -08 December 2016 Volume 618, Col 409.

What I find most interesting to read it in it's full context and hoe she links what she says to Rape Myths;

"As an adult, of course I now know that rape is not about sex at all—it is all about power and control, and it is a crime of violence. I still pick up on when the myths of rape are perpetuated form^sic a male perspective: “Surely you could have fought him off. Did you scream loudly enough?” And the suggestion by some men that a woman is giving subtle hints or is making it up is outrageous. Those assumptions put the woman at the heart of cause, when she should be at the heart of effect. A rape happens when a man makes a decision to hurt someone he feels he can control. Rapes happen because of the rapist, not because of the victim."

She implies that only "MEN" are the ones who use rape Myths, never women - showing that her words are riddles with Misandry and Blatant Sexism. This is the Mythology of Rape Culture embedded in UK Politics and no different to "All Men Are Rapists" legitimized by Parliamentary Privilege.

It is interesting that she mention she is married, but goes on to say;

"We women in our society have to stand up for each other. We have to be courageous. We have to call things out and say where things are wrong. We have to support and nurture our sisters as we do with our sons. Like many women of my age, I have on occasion encountered other aggressive actions towards me, both in business and in politics. But one thing that I realise now is that I am not scared and he was"

So, like many she indicates she see's her husband as lesser than a child, because of course, whilst she apparently abhors myths and stereotypes .... no one in parliament pointed out her sexist and biased cliches.

I wonder if the quality of parliamentary debate and rhetoric would improve if people got to vote Hansard Up And Down!

So when I got sexually assaulted by a female I made the decision not the person who did it to me hmm interesting.

For years I'd fought an uphill battle trying to convince so many people that most of the time a cigar was just a cigar. At least some people are starting to come around and see that, yes, actually, men who rape women do it because they want to put their dick into a woman. It's that simple.

I'm not sure why people actually believe rape has anything to do with control. It's exactly what it looks like : Man gets an urge, finds a woman to unwillingly satisfy it.

I think it's because too many women don't appreciate what the male sex drive actually feels like. They don't think of it as equivalent to hunger or thirst so they can't understand any other reason a man would rape a woman. I guess that's what happens when you only ask other women what men think of anything. Which, now that I think of it, describes an awful lot of female thinking regarding men.

Something important to note is that Michelle Thomson is an Independent MP, not becasue she wanted to leave her party the SNP, but becasue her property dealings are being investigated by police:

So a man who makes a decision to hurt someone he can control MUST be a rapist yeah? No sweeite. Sorry for what happened to you but it doesn't give you the right to make sweeping judgements on all men and tar them with the same brush. That's just not acceptable. A rape happens when a sick man or woman does a very sick thing. Please leave out the 10 cent psychoanalysing. For everybody's sake.

I'm glad I don't live in the UK. Rape persecution is so bad over there already...if it get's any worse you will have something comparable to Stalinism.
