When you have Watson defenders attacking actual rape victims who said that this uncomfortable social situation should not be called "potential rape" because it hurts those who are actually raped, there is a major disconnect and yes, all hell will break loose.

Says Rebecca Watson making an entirely reasonable and common sense point -and all hell breaks loose. WTF?!? “A word to the wise guys, uh, don’t do that.”

Apparently, disagreeing and *gasp* daring to disagree with Watson and her sycophantic skepchick wannabes makes me misogynistic. Ridiculous to the extreme! Anyway, I got sucked into the furore and wrote a couple of blogs on the matter (http://tonyryan.org.uk/?p=602 and http://tonyryan.org.uk/?p=582 ) , but I shan't be doing any more. Time to move on to the real issues! Like actual areas of scepticism such as religion, homeopathy, psychic frauds etc... *facepalm* times a million.
