What the Father did is not a reflection or indictment of the son

Why not? It's well known that sexual violence is generational. What are the odds that Emmitt, whose father chose going to war over doing prison time for domestic violence and then was hanged for 2 rapes and 1 murder, had an idyllic childhood involving a strict moral upbringing?

'Sexual violence' LOL... NO SUCH THING! That's a buzz phrase for turning consensual sex into rape during intercourse. Anytime I've heard the phrase 'sexual violence' it was a dog whistle to wo-MEN who would claim rape at ANY stage DURING INTERCOURSE. Real rape, needs forensic evidence of a life & death struggle, imop or else it's a LIE. My Father was in construction & I hate psysical labor. My Father (out of love) slapped me around yet I don't believe in that method. So while I get that genes are passed down, I don't think it's fair to see the sins of the father as evidence against the son

lol I didn't say anything about genes, I said "generational." That refers to the way children are raised by their parents.

"Real rape, needs forensic evidence of a life & death struggle, imop or else it's a LIE." If there is a life or death struggle, wouldn't you agree that that was sexual violence? Just because people use a term illegitimatey or dishonestly, that doesn't mean it doesn't reference a real thing. Of course there's sexual violence.

As far as your contention that a woman can't be raped unless she puts up a "life or death struggle," that's a ridiculous position. Would you say a person couldn't be legally robbed if he didn't put up a life or death struggle? "Sorry, but you should have let him shoot you instead of giving him your wallet, no crime here."

Unless you believe that rape is worse than death, why would you choose a serious risk to your life (how many women could best a man in a life and death struggle?) rather than cut your losses and acquiesce?

In 2009 a Yale lab tech ... Annie Le .. (4' 9" 89lbs) was murdered by 'attempted rapist' .......................Raymond Clark .. (5" 9" .. 190lbs) she FOUGHT back so hard...

SHE LEFT ABRASIONS & SCRATCHES OVER HIS ENTIRE CHEST....so much so...

That his alibi was: "My cat did it" Since due process requires 'forensic evidence' of a rape...wouldn't you conclude that fighting back/resistance/ is required for it to be rape? Your juxtapositon between robbery at gunpoint...

vs .............................................................................. rape with no gun...

is right out of the fEMINIST playbook. 'Sexual violence' is a buzz phrase that arbitrarily brands anything as rape according to a wo-MAN'S discretion.

Rape is violence with sex involved. 'Sexual violence' is a non sequitur.

Just as ............................................................'date rape drug' is a non sequitur.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING. >>.....99% of ecstasy is done consensually.

That a 1% minority uses that drug criminally, doesn't justify the non sequitur fallacy.

It's SEXUAL violence because it involves the penis and violent coercion.
