Tolerance.

tolerance is voided when you're actively out to harm people. He's promoting a culture of rape, like Todd Akin, and therefore deserves nothing but condemnation (and it only goes as far as condemnation because we live in a civilized society. If i had it my way...)

Except he isn't.  I mean... again... you are a fan of Queen's blade.  That and a lot of other anime you've likely watched and liked has done way more to promote rape culture then anything he's said.

Queen's blade is a promotor of rape culture.

 

It's not like he just said this to say this.

The remark came in a debate in response for why he doesn't believe in an abortion exception in the case of rape.

Saying "rape is horrible" but fetus are life, and sometimes some great people are born due to rape and that it might be a part of god's plan when such people are born of rape."

is FAR from "promoting a rape culture."

I'd posit that you are unwittingly a bigger supporter of rape culture then said senator... at least in action, the only defense would be your relative lack of influence.

 

No offense but stuff like this is why actual feminists who this is a real issue and want to work against rape culture and sexism  have coined the term "Brogressive"

We've had the back-and-forth over this one as well, and the fetish-appeal of Queen's Blade is irrelevant to the argument, which is about the role of the pro-life argument as the promotion of an anti-feminist agenda (the making of women into sex objects being a different part of the problem)

Lack of influence indeed. Because despite the media i consume, i'm out there working against it. I would figure the semester working for an anti-sex-trafficking coalition outbalances three seasons of Queen's Blade (that i never paid for anyway)

And again, to bring this back to a theological perspective, predestination either holds, or it doesn't. It can't hold only partway.
