If you put a midget in your stomach: you have eaten that midget.

You can be coerced/forced to eat a midget, as a woman can be coerced/forced to get pregnant.
The term for the latter is usually called 'rape'. I'll call it 'applesauce' if you like, I'm easy.

* Violet hollowly listens to yet more nonsensical banter about this 'rights' bullshit, as she thinks about more interesting things... such as apple pie.
That word is as universally meaningless as interpretation of beauty. I counter with two equally 'unanswerable' (read: subjective) questions:
Are you insinuating that people have no right to call someone incredibly beautiful? Who has the right to decide what is pretty and what is foul?
I really do hate this 'R' word, and I don't mean rape. (note: I hate that too).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
