... make both 'rape' and "marital rape' acts that can be committed by either sex! Let's see how that goes over! People act as though women can't commit domestic abuse or acts of sexual violence. Make the law gender neutral!
... I'm not sure what purpose the bill serves because rape is notoriously difficult to prove under normal circumstances. Whenever a married woman decides to bring allegations its because the relationship is already over, so how can the court decide whether malice is involved or not? Will it cover women having nonconsensual sex with their husbands, or are we still under the mistaken belief that women can't commit rape? Any form of abuse within or outside of marriage has laws that can already be applied and if there is to be a marital rape law it should cover men too!
... politics was supposed to be a form of national service, but it has devolved into a grandiose form of self service. We need term limits, with healthcare only while in office and no pensions for government ministers after their obligations end! The same ole people take turns every 5 years to suckle on the teat of the public treasury and the simpleminded keep voting for them!
... Minnis should never talk about healthcare, his incompetence was responsible for many deaths during a dengue outbreak when he was Minister of Health years ago and again during COVID! Minnis is into power, not public service. I wish he would just go away!
