I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

"One quarter of women kill their children"

Really?

Source? I hope to God that isn't true.

He's talking about abortion.

Other than that, though, these findings are quite disturbing.

How is that not rape?

Have you ever had sex with your partner when you knew she didn't want to but you thought she should agree because she's your wife/ partner?


Because while the use of force could be involved, it could just as easily not be involved.

She did not want to, but she agreed anyway because her boyfriend / husband was being stubborn / annoying / whatever. I don't really think of that as rape. If her boyfriend or husband threatens her in order to get her to have sex with them, then I do consider it rape.

You're suggesting that 'Asia' has a somewhat shared culture, like Europe. The vast majority of the world doesn't see rape as bad it should be seen, and this isn't something limited to 'Asia.'

Yes and I highly doubt a military dictatorship would go on a rampage killing everyone suspected of communism if the Dutch was still in power.

But this isn't the thread for this so I'll drop it.

Considering that the Western countries greatly supported the killings, I would think it might have. And it's not like things were wonderful under the Dutch.

That's considered coercion and just as much rape, and not what the question was asking. The fact that you don't consider it rape is rather scary.

All such wrongs are fueled by the sentiment that one individual ought to have unjust power over another.

Relevant to rape. Irrelevant to abortion since there is no "another" individual involved. And no, this is not an abortion thread.
