Tonight I went to see Inglorious Basterds with my friend R. and WOW.

I liked that movie so much more than I thought I would.

So there have been some discussions about rape lately, sparked largely by the new movie "Observe & Report" (aka the mall cop movie without Paul Blart. A movie which, full disclosure, I have not and do not intend to see). It's got me thinking about the discussion of rape and sexual assault as I have seen it. A lot of what I'm responding to is the blog entry Observe & Report: On Real Rape over at the blogspot Tiger Beatdown.

Just saw Dark Knight with my friend N.

It was *awesome*

I love you, show!

The other day I was reading through the forums on another site and I noticed that on the "where the candidates stand on the issues" thread that there were a couple of posters who dislikes Obama for his Pro-Choice stance. And while I try to respect opinions and stances which differ from my own, I couldn't help but feel like the posters in question had not fully thought through the issue. So I responded with my thoughts, which I am reposting here. Because I feel like this issue is important, and needs to be thought about in a more nuanced way than it is typically treated in political debate.
