Rage, you are being a fucking idiot here - you do realise this whole argument is in part ABOUT the type of women you've posted above? ie the callout started after Les claimed women weren't oppressed in Iraq etc.
We're not talking about little petty things here. We're talking about rape and violence.
And Les, the reason why they fought for this is because of the exemption. Whatever technicalities you want to argue, that exemption WAS used in court.
Making it explicitly illegal to rape your wife prevents that happening now.
We no longer have to have ridiculous court battles over this. As if a rape case isn't traumatic enough for the victim. Now they don't have to - on top of that - sit thru endless arguments over whether it is technically ok for a husband to rape his wife.
