Rape and the Right
I was just doing a mental perusal of pundits on the Right and how often in their columns and blogs they threaten women with a future of rape by the Islamic Menace. Seriously, they make two arguments these days, one is that we must deliver freedom to women, the other is that we must deny freedom to women, but both are must dos in order to save women from a future of rape by the Islamic Menace:
Argument #1: Canadian (male) soldiers must continue to fight the male oppressors of women in Muslim countries in order to save women here from a future of rape by the Islamic Menace.
Argument #2: Women in the west must be denied the right to sign up for active duty to fight the male oppressors of women in Muslim countries in order to save them from a future of rape by the Islamic Menace.
There's a third argument, kind of, but it's mostly just blaming Feminists for the rape scenaries of arguments 1 and 2 - so I don't count it.
