Conservatives don’t even conceptualize rape as involving consent. Consider this mini-rant by Rush Limbaugh:
You know what the magic word, the only thing that matters in American sexual mores today is? One thing. You can do anything — the left will promote and understand and tolerate anything — as long as there is one element. Do you know what it is? Consent. If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it’s perfectly fine. Whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation, then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left.
Frankly I didn’t know what they think rape actually is, but I’m this case I bet money they think the cop just owes the girl’s dad an apology for borrowing his property without permission, or for not marrying her, or something else equally disgusting.
