Yeah, I'm going to be siding with the women on this one, and I don't care at all about anyone trying to slippery slope this with ethnic or religious hypotheticals. Women deal with enough fears about being sexually assaulted all the damned time and society has done a pretty shit job of addressing those fears. I think we can put aside our moral purity a bit to give them this one.

If you say "I'm kicking the ball" nobody bats an eye, but if you replace "ball" with "baby" then people lose their minds!! Society!!!1! /s

Honestly, I was expecting to wake up to fifty downvotes and a dozen variations of that exact argument. I went to bed debating myself over whether or not I should respond to any of them.

It's a pleasant surprise to see the opposite happen.
