    Conservatives have huge issues with consent. Remember this Rush Limbaugh quote?

    You can do anything, the left will promote and understand and tolerate anything, as long as there is one element. Do you know what it is? Consent. If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it’s perfectly fine, whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left.

    They understand the concept of consent, but it offends their patriarchal values so they loathe that it is seen as a virtue (and indeed, a moral necessity for sexual acts) by people who aren’t tuned-up right-wing freaks.

      I can’t believe someone uttered that monologue with the expectation that it’s a winning argument. Like, yes? Perform sex acts without consent and the police should be, in fact, after you.

      “You sick bastards will permit anything as long as it’s between consenting adults!”

      Ummm, yeah? Glad you finally grasp what we’ve been saying.

    It’s not even taken out of context. He literally said, “I said, well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not. I am going to protect them.”

    Because of his billionaire background, he already knows where he can grab them to keep them close at hand. He’s been practising for this policy with several reluctant women over the years.
