I was debating posting this one, but erred on the other side.
"Legitimate Rape" is a thing, sadly, and that makes this whole thing much more sordid when you analyze his language. "Legitimate Rape" means what we all think of when you hear "rape," which is a woman alone in a dark alley, suddenly jumped by thugs (that she doesn't know) who have their way with her, which is a very small percentage of all rape
"Illegitimate rape" is an inherently anti-feminist term, because that's the majority of rape, the kind of thing where you're with a girl and you think she's sending out signals but ultimately she doesn't want it, but you have sex with her anyway. That's the bulk of rape, and you can see with this terminology that this is considered by many to be "less" of a crime.
What this man is postulating is that the distress of a "stranger-assault" rape causes women to shut down their receptivity, which isn't how it works at all.
Someone so ignorant should be kept well away from public life period, let alone any position of responsibility. |
You do realize there are miscarriages that happen when a woman is too sad? The psyche has a big effect on childbirth.
Of course it's not an "always' kind of thing, but his ignorant-type speech isn't so far off.

"June 5, 2003 -- Stress has long been suspected as a possible cause ofmiscarriage, with several studies indicating an increased risk among women reporting high levels of emotional or physical turmoil in their early months of pregnancy or just before conception. But while a relationship has been noted, researchers didn't know exactly how a woman's stress could cause miscarriage."

No, no, that is absolutely false. This study showed how women who had multiple miscarriages had higher cortisol and stress levels. It did not show how women with higher stress levels and cortisol had miscarriages.

Well, there is a relation, that's what I was trying to say. I'm not saying it's 1 to 1, but the article mentioned what I underlined. So I'm just stating what I'm reading, and it could be false, but don't tell me what I'm saying is incorrect I simply stated the article.
Instead of saying what I'm saying is false, try to understand what I posted and see if possibly it's not me that made a bad post, but that the article I was retranscribing was poorly summarized. As such, my post is not false, it is just based off of something that you would disagree with.
