Republican advisor made a woman a sex slave

Honestly, given the Republican Party’s stated views on traditional marriage, this either demonstrates the blatant hypocrisy behind their stance or it holds a dark mirror up to how regressive their increasingly radicalized view of women, marriage, and relationships really is.

Congratulations, the “traditional family” now has either yet another Tartuffe or yet another Svidrigailoff (kudos to those of you who got that.)

I just don't like that you keep using the word "them" to make generalized statements about an entire group of people. There exist hypocrites in all groups. I support traditional family, and I don't cheat or sexually abuse people.

Would you prefer "republicunts?"

Fair enough, then again, you’re not in a position to force it on people for whom it may not work and at least your marriage is working, so you can walk the walk. Imagine an old time temperance meeting where the speaker talks about the evils of alcohol, then, between paragraphs, takes a swig out of a whiskey bottle, and still has the pull to have the Vollstead act and the 18th amendment passed.

It’s like the Republican Party is showing how they’ve built their ideology on the sand and are blatantly ignoring the floods coming down...

Really, the problem isn’t traditional marriage in itself; it’s demanding traditional marriage to the exclusion of everything else and then, just to rub salt in the wound, demonstrating how it’s simply not a viable solution for every relationship.

Case in point, here’s a blog I follow; it’s written by a self-described (at least until last year) evangelical Christian with five kids and a good relationship with his wife, and, when things come to the issue of the shortcomings of the “traditional” sexual politics of the right, he does not pull any punches:

It’s an in-joke from my old days at the Newspeak Dictionary forums. One thread had a poll, and one of the forumers (since banned) decided to reply “blueberry muffins.” Apparently, this meant “whatever.” Another forumer found this hilarious and, when we started a thread with a poll, we’d include “blueberry muffins” as an option. I don’t know about the other guys there, but I kept the tradition alive, because it’s funny.

I think it was Alice, or V, or whatever her name was here who used to include it in her polls on this forum.

And looking things up, I scanned through all of Alice's old polls; she used Blueberry Muffins as a poll option once, and in a context that actually makes sense, no less. And I actually used it before her here.

But slavery is illegal now i think in USA isnt it. I think you are refering to rape. If its by consent there is this thing called BDSM which is popular among some religious fetishes and non religious people alike. I have never seen the appeal in it but that is just me. BDSM sounds more an american thing being very popular among young and old in US populations according to the ones i talked with online

I think at first, there was consent. Eventually, however, it seems to have gone into rape territory.

And physical abuse don't forget that .

That's just the icing on the shit sundae when rape and slavery are on the table.
