This is her follow up comment:

Who said anything about rape? Men pursue their urges - get women pregnant and have children and move on; they indulge in pedophile urges etc - when they get to a point where they thankfully can't get up - well, there;s a pill to help them. Can women get birth control pills so easy? No. Insurance companies and employers will fight to deny women that and birth control pills are more than just contraceptives - they regulate cycles, help keep sturdier bones, help some women with migraines, but the little blue pill just help men get it up and men are accommodated by pharmaceutical and insurance companies, but not ignore women's needs. Mostly men make these decisions.

I think she's mentally ill.

I've gotten the chance to talk to a group of retired men and some of them used Viagra or another pill. The reason for it wasn't for their own gratification, it was to please their wives who wanted sex. They felt bad about not getting erections because they wanted to make their wives happy.

The only thing viagra has to do with rape is that it's the easiest way to explain to people how men can be raped by a woman when they play the "er mer ger erection" card...

Rape is about power

This is a huge misconception that feminists love to spread, and people, including MRA's, eat it up like it's cake. Rape is not about power, it is almost solely about sex. If it were about power, then one would think that the best piece of advice one could give to someone presently being raped would NOT be the following:

If you make it extremely difficult for the rapist to rape you, by kicking & screaming, by hitting him, scratching him and overall just make it very difficult for him, chances are he/she is going to stop. If people raped for power, this would only make the situation worse, and it doesn't. RAPE IS ABOUT SEX. Hell, some species of animals have even developed "mechanisms" through evolution that have no other purpose but to help them rape, which implies that they serve a purpose for SEX. There is evidence in evolutionary psychology that supports "rape is about sex, not power", but I won't get into it because I'm fucking lazy.

Not that I have anything whatsoever against viagra, but if anything wouldn't it facilitate the rape of men, you know, by forcing them to get erections when they overwise wouldn't? Doesn't this person understand that viagra is a medication to give men erections, not give them sexual urges?

The underlying assumption is erect penis = rape.

Disgusting hate speech.

Women can use Viagra to rape men! They can slip it into their drinks.

I have been told that apparently rape has nothing to do with sex. So I don't follow her logic.

bunker_man · 2013-05-07T11:19:48+00:00

People need to stop saying "rape is about power, not sex." It is nothing but a word game designed by postmodernists to not have to accept that sex essentially always is about power. Power takes different forms, but it is always involved.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2013-05-07T13:44:07+00:00

Are we sure she's talking about rape, and not that women must suffer through pregnancy/childbirth and a lot of the world not having access to abortion/birth control?

Either it's a derail, but I'm not certain she's talking about rape.

Trolly-McTroll · 2013-05-07T15:34:39+00:00

Why are people responding to her? She's disgusting.

Relevant.

I just clicked on the show comments, and almost everyone I see at first is "but what about the womynz?" Seriously....

Change the immediate subject and a few nouns in all that around a bit to something race related, and you have stormfront material.
