I can see how that was offensive, and I will put a
stop to it henceforth.
One thing I will say in my defense: I didn't say
*ANYTHING* about rape or any other words to create
implications of unconsensual sexual behavior in my
comment. To be honest, it hadn't even cross my mind
when I wrote that (not much did). While my comment
was sexist and immature...I insist on making it 100%
clear that my motivations and principles are such that
do NOT in any way shape or form approve of or take
lightly the concept of someone actually being raped.
Sometimes I'm stupid...but I don't deserve to be
labeled as morally aligned with evil or cruelty.
I'm done. I'm sorry.
