My definition? Just the legal one, baby.

Yes. And statutory rape and what the common person would consider rape are often very different. But that's a whole other thread... |

Thanks. Partial to Kirkpatrick myself. Brilliant woman. A woman with balls.
Big_Bird: here is why such criticism fails: mature, meaningful feminists like Joan Wallach Scott and others have argued and shown us that women have been involved in human affairs since the beginning, equally-involved in shaping history. Blah, blah, blah.
This means, to me at least, equally-complicit as well. In everything. |

So, are umbrellas out of fashion these daze? Being an old goat, it's been awhile since I was intimately involved with these questions, but my girlfriends over the years always seemed to have an umbrella handy.
And then, of course, for the uninhibited there are certainly imaginative ways to achieve the desired state of ecstatic mutual bliss that don't even involve the undesirable side effect of 18+ years of Catholic penance for ones "sins," n'est pas? |

I keep thinking that maybe they're like those Thai confusions who look like females but, if studied intimately will be found to have something swinging, don'tcha know.
Indeed, Mr. Gopher even seems to agree to a certain extent as he claims Kirkpatrick had 'em.  |

Then men should pay a huge childcare tax in compensation to those who kept the kids out of their hair so that they'd find the time to make/invent/whathaveyou.

You should pay sperm tax all those millions of poor sperms had to die so you could have a screaming brat. |

OK, why? |
Well, if we institute the tax on the basis you mentioned, and the man can prove he wasn't part of the problem the tax seeks to address, then giving him only part of the money he paid in to the system means that at least part of the reason for the tax is the belief that men are bad, even the ones who aren't, demonstrably, bad.
Also, depending on how high the tax is, giving a complete refund would be quite an incentive. If high enough, the potential rebate could be viewed as a way to finance retirement.
Either way, I still want to be the auditor. |

BB, I knew you were a shrieking harpy, but I never took you for such an obvious troll before. Now it all makes sense. I don't participate much anymore, but I still browse regularly and this clears a lot of things up.
Grazie.

Well isn't that bloody typical!  Trying to spread the blame around (thereby diluting your share of it). You want us to lay down next to you and share your bed of shame. |

Your poor husband.
Anyway- so since you OP-ed this thread.....
DO you believe in testicular tax? Do you? Please explain Y or Y not.
edit- just noticed in your pic your little baby is edging away. Perhaps he got wind that mama CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY....or may want to one day tax his allowance given he's an evil man in training.

Yes, daskalos. This does seem quite a sensible proposition. Perhaps we could take it further, and those men who underwent voluntary surgery to remove their goodies, could have an on the spot rebate, and be exempt from further contributions. |

Wellllll, knowing men as I do (pretty well, really) I don't imagine there to be many takers for this option, though some.
After all, some early Christian monks took one of Paul's injunctions to mean that they should geld themselves and did so, willingly, in numbers so great that the church eventually had to proscribe the practice. (Well, at least for its monks and priests -- it wasn't until modern times that the practice of gelding sweet-voiced boy singers was done away with.) |
