Lea, when you type something like:

“But it’s not unreasonable to draw a line and call blackmail blackmail and not rape.”

What that says to me is that you’re trying to characterize blackmail as being a ‘lesser’ offense than rape. If I’m misconstruing what you mean, I’d be happy to revise my conclusions.

And for the nonce, this is nothing to do with politics, and very little to do with political correctness, it’s about whether society treats just about half of its population in a fair and equitable manner ; and if you consider that being called in what seems to be supporting a double standard ‘being demonized’, then I’m sorry. Because my opinion is that you’re wrong.
