Wrath of the raped husband?
| “ |
Not
only can blogging wage war on your health, but public figures are
getting in trouble for their online opinions. The BNP’s Nick Eriksen
learnt this the hard way last week, after he was sacked as the party's
London Assembly candidate for publishing jaw-droppingly obtuse views on
rape on his blog. The post has since been removed, but luckily
journalists were quick to spot the following:
"Rape is simply sex (I am talking about
'husband-rape' here)... Women enjoy sex, so rape cannot be such a
terrible physical ordeal…To suggest that rape, when conducted without
violence, is a serious crime is like suggesting force-feeding a woman
chocolate cake is a heinous offence.”

All
of which prompts a slew of Henny Youngman jokes. Instead, as a
deeply religious man, I will defer to St. Paul in his "Let
them eat cake" letter to the Corinthians:
| “ |
"Let
the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise
also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her
own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have
authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one
another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to
fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not
tempt you because of your lack of self-control." |
