"Birth Rape": turns out it's not actually rape

[Elok]

Just stumbled across it on Facebook. Somebody on my friends list read some article, using one of those stupid social readers, with the headline "Birth Rape: Why is it happening in our hospitals?" Of course that got a giant WTF, so I searched for the term wondering whether doctors/nurses/staff somewhere were supposedly sexually assaulting infants and/or exhausted, vulnerable new mothers. Instead, I got this:

Summary: If your doctors are too pushy and/or impersonal during delivery, some fringe of the feminist movement thinks you are the victim of something remotely equivalent to rape. I just thought you'd all like to know that.

Meh, the one sure way a physician can get into trouble is to be verbally abusive to his patients, Every doctor knows it, it's been drilled into our heads repeatedly.

"Your honor, when I went to have a colonoscopy, the doctor said that the inside of my butt smelled like poo."
"Okay?"
"Well that made me uncomfortable. Then the doctor stuck a camera in my butt, which also made me uncomfortable."
"Hmm yes, I can see why you filed a rape complaint against the doctor."

It is indeed a very important societal project to randomly (I mean, utterly randomly) pick out specific constructions meant to defend woman's dignity (come on now, you know what REALLY threatens this one, it's not the wrongdoers, it's the critics), ridicule them and everyone steps out a bit wiser. Al's reaction highlights how well this project is undergoing. Congrats, Elok. The question is, WHOSE project is it really?

Never act randomly if you don't quote get who you're serving. Then again, Poly IS a conservative stronghold.

Say wut? Are you saying that, by ridiculing an attempt to compare insensitive doctors to sexual predators, I'm serving some kind of shadowy fifth column interests?

He's saying that by criticizing women's rights, you are implying something similar to those criticizing affirmative action.

Kind of like being against Israel's foreign policy makes you an antisemite.

Apolyton is a lot more conservative than it used to be, mostly because there are no commies posting. When people like Asher and Imran represent 'the Left', the center of the discussion is a bit on the right side.

Asher and Imran... sounds like a bad Jew-Muslim buddy comedy.

Who's criticizing women's rights? I'm criticizing an idiotic misnomer that has the potential to trivialize sexual assault.
