Rape and Survival and Virtue.

No one's suggesting telling rape survivors why they should or should not feel bad. What rape survivors feel isn't the problem. The problem is what the people around him or her are feeling. Particularly, that a father or brother commits suicide after his daughter's rape because they feel their daughter's honor and virtue has been violated, *that* is the problem.

Does Kuntz appear in any way to be immature or having a lack of power to you? He seems like a completely normal, articulate adult male to me. Maybe if the 65-year old were smacking him around in the stands instead of kissing him and Kuntz insisted that "No, you don't understand, he loves me..." then we could talk about a potentially exploitative relationship.
But that's not what's going on. It's two *adult* guys who want to be together. No evidence of any wrongdoing whatsoever. THAT'S IT. End of discussion.

I know people are going to come down hard on Kuntz's boyfriend for the age difference, but I'm not going to be one of them. If Kuntz wanted to be with him, and he wanted to be with Kuntz, then fuck the age differnce. It's completely irrelevant. Just as it would if it were a Jew dating a Muslim or a vegan dating a butcher.
We don't get to decide who we want to be with in our lives. We just DO. That's the heart of the argument for gay marriage and people should not become weak-kneed all of a sudden whenever the situation becomes uncomfortable.

There's a big difference between resisting the rare, occasional urge to murder someone and resisting the constant urge to fulfill your sexual needs. I don't think pedophiles who successuflly resist those urges should be congratulated, but some appreciation and understanding is certainly called for.

So glad to see the fundies have now found there way here, ready to add valuable insight to the topic of child rape, given their long and illustrious history with the practice.

Alright dude. I'm not aware of this fantasy person you're referring to that thinks kids would "obviously benefit from fucking adults," but I get it - you're a crusader. Go get 'em tiger.
