Mormon: "There is no such thing as rape."

[KichigaiNeko]

Sounds more like this dork was rejected for being inadequate?? MY sympathies are with the young lady and her family who are grieving.

When there are incidents that are classified as "rape," or names that are similar, what usually ends up happening is that the "victim" tends to "forget" to mention immodesty, flirty actions, or other conduct on their part that attributed to the matter. A woman who dresses immodestly must accept accountability for her choice of attire.

Fucking Mormons.

Filthy, dirty, molesting, murdering, pieces of shit, nose-deep in hypocrisy and hiding behind the "sweet love of Jesus" and some of the most ridiculous religious nonsense mankind has ever invented.

The subject of this story was not LDS, but since the LDS Church is the one true church, our beliefs apply to all.

I haven't wanted to punch an arrogant turd of a man in the fucking head this bad in a very long time.

The AnonOps side of me wants to start OperationRapeMichaelCrook. Somebody let 4chan know about this.

Not long ago an element of this belief existed in the western world. I remember a movie from the 1960's where they were blaming the victim. They blamed a rape case on the sexual revolution and women asserting themselves.

In Afghanistan and the middle east they have similar beliefs about rape. In some countries the rape victim must marry their rapist in order to regain some of her virtue.

In strongly male dominated societies opinions about females get really twisted. Some ancient Greeks didn't even believe that females were truly human. Like they were some sort of genetic accident.

Specifically about the article let's look at a few points you may not be aware of. From what I have heard (this could be false) it is sinful for a Mormon woman to orgasm. Men can do this all they want but women; no. Women can't get into heaven unless their husband calls them in with their secret name. so women need to be pleasing to their husbands or else they will go to hell. Mormons of course adopt the belief from Christianity that women are more susceptible to deception etc blah blah blah.

Over all, the society is male dominated and this domination is reinforced at every level.

There is something called a "Mormon in good standing". You get this mostly by donating a percentage of your income to the church and by not behaving too badly. It works as a "get out of jail free" card. It can cause law enforcement to look the other way.

Mormon society is difficult to break out of. There are very few non Mormons in Mormon country, it's out in a vast desert with isolated communities spread far apart. You can't just hop in a car and drive to the city to escape. Also Mormons have very large tight knit families and small (usually small) tight knit communities. Everything revolves around church and family. If you leave the church you are leaving the only social structure you have ever known and you are leaving your family. Some Mormon families are a little more liberal but a lot are not. So along with the fog from deconversioin, the absence of a supporting community and family, you have to go out into the big scary world which is full of horrible sinners (according to the church).

Here's a video, it's part of a series of testimonies of ex Mormons, about someone who left the church and how difficult it was to leave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYDaoCSCoJg

I'm literally speechless.

I'm not, but I'm biting my tongue anyway, since most of what I think is bound to be misinterpreted.

I'm not speechless, but I can't string words together in a way that makes them presentable.

Rape apology. No matter what kind of spin you put on it, you're still an asshole.

This is fucking sick.

I hope it is safe to assume that 'there is no such thing as rape' is not an official position of the LDS.

I wouldn't give them that much credit. That douchebag could just as easily be a muslim.

The rhetoric is almost identical.
