Seriously?

I have not the words for how frightening this is.

Number one, defining rape as forcible rape only is Insane! date rape is rape; drugged rape is rape. The only defining factor should be a lack of consent. Did you say yes? If not it's rape. Is society really becoming this barbaric? (and yes I meant to use that strong a word)

Second, are we really going to let someone legislate a backdoor reversal of Roe v Wade? Because things like penalizing private companies for having abortion included in their health plan is exactly that.

ok rant over. Now I need to go be civil to a member of congress.

Oh, I'm certainly against the law; I've just seen various sources, your rant included, imply that any sex without active consent is rape, which I think goes too far in the opposite direction.


While I'm here, using up space: Sleep No More. You can go find reviews from the Boston version from last winter. I cannot express how awesome it was, how I had to go over and over, and how I think you're precisely the sort of person who would enjoy it and should plan to meet me in NYC sometime in March to see it.

When I go to the link I get the website for the McKittrick Hotel. Am I missing something?
If I am correct in that you mean the play done by Punch Drunk then it sounds like a plan to be made. If its a hotel, maybe we need to talk somewhere less public. ;)

Have they announced dates for the opening?

Ha. The McKittrick Hotel is just what they're calling the venue; try here.

It opens on March 7. I will be in NYC March 15-17, currently, and could see it the night of the 17th. I can make separate trips easily enough.
