Hi commie. Cool to see you're still committed to always being on the wrong side of every possible issue.

Definition of rape.

Unless you think the cows are consenting, forced impregnation is definitionally rape.

    Dictionaries are often treated as the final arbiter in arguments over a word's meaning, but they are not always well suited for settling disputes. The lexicographer's role is to explain how words are (or have been) actually used, not how some may feel that they should be used, and they say nothing about the intrinsic nature of the thing named or described by a word, much less the significance it may have for individuals. When discussing concepts like rape, therefore, it is prudent to recognize that quoting from a dictionary is unlikely to either mollify or persuade the person with whom one is arguing.

    I've never seen someone simultaneously acknowledge that dictionaries are inherently descriptive, while using that as an argument in favor of their own prescriptive definition. I totally support your effort to find new and unique ways to be wrong about literally everything

    Why did you link to the definition of racism???

    it's absurd to discuss consent from something that can't be informed.

    Yeah I'm not surprised that you aren't concerned with animals' ability (or lack thereof) to consent. You're so consistently wrong on everything that being pro-animal-sexual-abuse actually seems right up your alley
