It was invariably a man who started and had I'M NOT A RAPIST! written all over him. So apologetic. So frightened.<br /><br />But if the guy responded as if the trap had been sprung and became aggressive I wouldn't have had a gun to shoot him with. <br /><br />Perhaps I'm privileged to have the opinion that guns on campus is not a good idea; because that would allow predators to carry guns without censure, so that getting away from the rapist might be much harder, and the threat of death more menacing. wileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234314999465951053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438801388377581634.post-23770243251539476292013-02-19T11:02:53.307-08:002013-02-19T11:02:53.307-08:00Untrustworthy agency and no agency at all is not a...Untrustworthy agency and no agency at all is not a great choice.Substance McGravitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118764163822188800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438801388377581634.post-86791459952844319182013-02-19T10:59:16.001-08:002013-02-19T10:59:16.001-08:00I think the real difference is that Mourdock and A...I think the real difference is that Mourdock and Akin's statements have a corollary- some inscrutable deity will determine whether a particular sexual act was rape or not, the woman's characterization of events be damned.
