Thanks to TM for quickly designing the new site. We're going to be gradually transitioning over there, but that won't be final until the end of the year. You are going to be getting some new people involved in that site ("new" as in "previously helped on this blog in the early days"). The ideological slant will be gone.
Okay so that they want men nagging a woman for sex to be a crime. That is ridiculous, especially because the woman is free to go or can ask the man to leave.
How about women nagging men for just about anything you can imagine? Is that going to be illegal? What if the man has no option but to stay?
Say, if if the man is married, the nagging happens in his own house, and he has nowhere else to go. Can he tell his wife to shut the hell up, or would that be a crime, too.
I think which answer these numbskulls would subscribe to.
I'm not going to defend sexual nagging. It's just not workable to criminalize it. That doesn't mean we need to condone it or insist there's nothing wrong with it.
Absolutely correct, Archivist. Nagging for sex is obnoxious and inappropriate. That doesn't mean it should be criminal. Part of becoming an adult is learning how to deliver a firm no and mean it.
I don't see how it helps women to insist they never have to grow up. They're going to be pressured in all sorts of non-sexual situations just like men.
I wonder what this country would be like if men were encouraged to wallow in victimization in anything like the way women are.
Every civilized society must strive to (1) eradicate heinous crimes by punishing the offenders, and (2) insure that the innocent aren't punished along with the offenders. Too often, the second half of that balance is omitted from the public discourse. Accusations of serious criminality, especially murder and sexual wrongdoing, too often are their own convictions in the high court of public opinion because the stigma is so severe. It is our mission to raise awareness about the injustices suffered by persons wrongly accused of serious criminality. Protecting the innocent from unjust harm as a result of a wrongful accusation is a hallmark of a civilized society.

Asking for sex and getting a "yes" is now considered "rape".
