Dear Poirot,

More to the point - why is otb crediting to me sources
that I have not either read or used?

No on second
thoughts I don't need an answer to that. It seems that
no matter what I say - this man has decided to attack
me no matter what.

I get accused of "cherry-picking"
when I do give sources. Then my sources are found to
be "unacceptable," if their content doesn't
agree with his point of view, then when I speak in broad
terms - I get accused of not providing sources despite
the fact that the scientific evidence can be easily
obtained. And now I've even been accredited with someone
I have neither read nor used in this discussion.

cont'd ...

All I can do is blow otb a great big raspberry,
give him the middle-finger, and continue to
ignore him!

"....And now I've even been accredited with someone
I have neither read nor used in this discussion."

Lol!...Foxy...is that so?!

otb, is a doozy when he gets on a roll...but that's a new one!

Dear Poirot,

Yeah, Susan Brownmiller - who the hell is she?

Never heard of her.

But there you go - supposedly I'm using her in my
discussion according to otb.

To use your word - "Sheeeeesh!"

Foxy:
I'm sorry I'm not "trendy" enough for you, but that's exactly my point, isn't it?
FYI, I do read a lot of research, in this and many other real scientific areas, but as I said, Psychology is NOT a science, it's still little more than "witch-doctoring", and it's entirely corrupted by the biases and agenda's of it's practitioners.
Poirot:
If you truly believe that violence is an essential element of rape then you are sadly misinformed, ever heard of Rohypnol?
Then of course there's all those "morning after" accusations, and let's not forget blackmail, simple and/or emotional, and the list goes on.
To be cynical, one could almost make a case that unless the woman initiated it, enjoyed it, and didn't regret it...EVER, then it's rape!
Obviously that's an exaggeration but uses the same logic as that used by Foxy et. al. to define/explain rape/rapists.
The facts are that for over 50 years psychology has been attempting to deal with human sexuality and it's perversions, and has NOT succeeded in any way shape or form, ever, and I would suggest that the simple reason for that failure is the basic delusions, agendas, and biases inherent in the "art".
To offer an illustration, they're basically trying to repair an electrical fault in a car by furiously fiddling with the fuel-filter!

Poirot, "Rape is certainly a violent act - and a sexual act"

Yes it is a sexual act. Did you learn that from those links I provided? -Just as well you read them then. For goodness sakes get Foxy to do the same.

Poirot, "It's impossible to rape someone without resorting to violence".

Nonsense. Are you for real? Rape can involve duress outside of violence. For years feminists rightly challenged your achaic view and succeeded. Good for them!

It is very foolish of you to return to the expectation that a rape must have occasioned violence - leaving the hapless victim in the situation of having to show injury or explain why s/he didn't resist.
