There's this useful phrase, "Not even wrong," used to indicate an argument that so completely and sloppily misses the point being discussed that it can't even be assessed as an argument -- for instance, a creationist who asks if evolution is real, why don't we see dogs giving birth to leopards, huh?
When your ethic of human behavior is "god says ____ about sex, so don't have it" that's kind of a fraught recipe for turning off your brain. Any time you turn off your governing thought processes on purpose, and ask other adults to do the same, it's a) rude, and b) bound to sound creepy.
And only one of which involved practicing law (corporate fraud investigation.) The only mildly impressive thing on his resume is he was undefeated when he went from Golden Gloves to pro, though one can only guess how many palookas from Podunkistan he had to blow over before he faced any real challenge.
I know this point is a few years late but I searched Matt's article for the word "feminism" to see where Matt makes that connection; it's not there. Anyone able to point it out?
And he's one of the more coherent spokesdudes for Liberty.
Incidentally, I know a couple of their philosophy and theology professors, who are actually the real thing. They don't speak highly of any other department. (internal rivalry, I'm sure)
You know, in the 2008 primary I voted for Hillz (not that it mattered -- I live in Cali), not because of any serious policy differences, but because I thought she might get a fair number of R/I women's votes in the privacy of the voting booth. I also seriously underestimated how successful Bamz would be at turning out the yutes.
With eight more years of the non-war-on-women in the books, I'm thinking my reasoning may just have been a little premature.
A writer who begins his article with the sentence, "Hey, gals, want to avoid being raped?" is making damn sure that no women will be reading any of the subsequent sentences.
Never mention ISO 9000 certification. It only encourages it.
Maybe he meant "penis", and we just misheard?
Okay, now you got twelve, so you're pretty well out of orifices. Although I suppose, shifts.
What part of the Bible would have given you that impression?
Next up, Barber advocates that rape victims are forced to marry their rapists, as the bibble and the Founding Fathers intended.
FFS.

it's my preferred airline these days

That is the kindest thing that a judge can have said to Matt Barber in the last 30 years.
Backwards -- Barber is the wingnut.
Basically, it's women are property. It's mostly that simple.
