[...] I’d laugh, but I’ve heard this same stupid argument from my own friends. It’s either that, or saying that it’s okay to say it because it’s in a song lyric, or that somehow “nigg-a” is different from “nigg-er“. These are all profoundly stupid arguments, and all I hear when someone says them is “I want the license to say things that I know to be racist and hurtful, and it’s your fault if you’re offended.” Congratulations, you are making the same argument as those brave freedom-fighters from Courtenay, and also rapists.

I’m glad to see that Scotland is doing an ad campaign like this!!
Even so, it makes me wish, in a lesser evolved part of my brain that people like james & mark could be hanged or burned at the stake. I say that so strongly, because it’s guys like them who help perpetuate the idea that rape is okay & as you’ve already said, rape is NEVER ok, for any reason, under any circumstance! My mother was raped as a young girl, & there was NO EXCUSE! If you can’t function when your aroused then cut it off! You won’t have any problems then.
Anyway, good message, & thank you for sharing with us!!
