'Now, you're on notice that making distinctions between types of rape could utterly destroy you. Don't talk about it...'

That's from Ann Althouse, who's got a very informative --- and fascinating --- discussion of rape, and the politics of rape. See, "Big UK lefty George Galloway fired for saying something about rape."

Althouse's discussion is breezier than that of Louise Mensch, who also compared Galloway to Todd Akin in an essay the other day, at Telegraph UK, "George Galloway, Todd Akin and other male politicians still getting it wrong on rape."

I guess that piece went over pretty well; there's a write-up on Mensch at the paper, "Louise Mensch: male politicians diminish rape."

Good advice, in any case, not to talk about rape. It's not good for your career, obviously.
