Judge says 'Woman's body should have prevented rape'

[anon361]

If there was a scale for measuring stupidity, I do wonder where they would fall.


I'll get my coat now, shall I?

You can be an intelligent person but still have really stupid views, such as your gun laws...

Since it does have relevance to the topic, why do some Americans think this? Is it a religious concept where God would not allow a woman to become pregnant due to rape so the body (God' creation) shuts down?

When studies show that a woman is more likely to fall pregnant due to rape,and the this level of stupidity is not confined to the US,sadly.

Babe, I am American, and I don't think this, that idiot of a judge is simply sprouting misogynistic bullshit, that has no real relation to anything more that his personal opinion, and his obvious lack of anatomist lessons in school. Or his personal experience with his misses, who wasn't up for it with him.

I would never think that every American would believe such nonsense. From what I have read, the rich tapestry makes up the States consists of of very different people in certain areas. Hence come election time, you have States that will be pro Republican till the end of time, and those who are Democrat. The swing states decide the election.

I was wondering whether bible belt some Christian's believed this...and if this is true, why? Because I just find it hard to believe that it is a lack of anatomical knowledge that could bring someone to this standpoint..because no-one could be that stupid, surely?

Oh yes, they can x

Oh my god. And there was me thinking that it was down to a strict religious doctrine....

I do maintain though, that if Senate candidates and judges are making these comments, then they must think they have an audience for them. Politicians may be stupid, but they do enough research to know what are vote winning comments in their own constituencies...

But I do find it amazing that there are areas in the States which are so conservative, yet areas which are so Liberal.

It does seem like two different countries in one
