Yes, I think you may have missed something. “ .. she tried to bully him into having sex”… and ‘..she tried to undress him..” Re-read the post -- there was definitely no rape invovled or mentioned.

I guess when I read about that case, it conjured up an image of this big burly man (I mean he’s a pool attendant and they’re always big hunky spunks of men aren’t they?) and this little sex starved bride (I mean she was determined) trying to seduce him. Now, let’s not beat about the bush here, if a man doesn’t want to have sex (Oh, geez doesn’t that sound like an oxymoron?) he’s not going to, is he? 99% of the time he’s going to be physically stronger, especially in this case, and to be blunt, if his cock isn’t ready – neither is he.

So, that’s what made it amusing for me. Ok? You didn't find it amusing? Well, that's ok too. We are, after all, all individuals.

I did heard of case many years ago, also in Germany, where a devote Christian teenage boy was seduced, and possibly ‘raped’ by a much older woman, but that was a completely different set of circumstances. It was of course very sad that someone's believes could be disrespected and voilated like that.

Yes, you have read that correctly, it is an expression in support of individuality and diversity, and particularly, I often like to use it in reference to the delightful differences between men and women.

But where, oh where, exactly, did you read or get the idea that I ‘ … support men and women having to suppress their individuality to conform to stereotypes that are wholly unnatural’? That’s just plain nuts! I support no such thing. Unless I’ve made a complete and utter stuff up of part of one of my postings, I think you may have misread or misunderstood something here.

I do often use a juxapostions of ideas to invoke discussion, however, I would have thought my opinions were always quite clear.
