I recently found out that Washington State still has a marital exception for 3rd degree rape and indecent liberties. I was perusing an online newspaper when I found an article stating that there is a proposal to remove this exception. This in itself was good, the comments on the story, however are absolutely revolting:
"Women also are famous for withholding sex as punishment, now they can send their husbands to jail for it!"
"The entire idea behind the exception is that marriage is considered de facto consent for sexual relations."
"Yeah, work on this instead of the budget or trying to fix the economy."

One commenter posted a hypothetical scenario where a wife gets mad at her husband, suspects him of cheating, and calls the police saying that he made her have sex. So this poor man would be arrested without even knowing why...
I thought about posting a comment. But this was the quote on my calendar today. "Arguing with a fool only proves there are two."
