Cheney challenger admits to statutory rape: Republicans don't care

[Rev. Rye]

Well, THAT’S an easy out - if an adult has sex with a child, it’s not rape as long as she gets pregnant and he agrees to marry her.

So, Libby Anne from Love, Joy, Feminism made this very simple infographic about how fucking insane the conservative sexual ethic is:

I first found out about it in the wake of the first Josh Duggar scandal, and, frankly, it helps explain how they can excuse some horrific shit people on their side are accused of. We've focused on how insane it is when they blow fears about premarital sex or gay sex far out of proportion, but, especially with the new Josh Duggar shit, I'm starting to think there might be a flipside to it: that things like rape and pedophilia might not be viewed as all that bad by conservatives simply because it's been linked in their minds to a shitton of lesser peccadillos. Of course, the whole "Object of Power Being Power" thing likely helps. And, evidently, the same phoenomenon that allows shotgun weddings to be justified among conservative Christians can also be used to justify pedophilia and rape.
