What Whoopi said

You know, it's not the "It wasn't rape-rape" comment that bothers me. It's that she goes on to rationalize that other societies don't see things the same way we do, the implication being that it would be okay for him to drug and rape a 13-year-old girl in other societies. Even worse, the subtext being that those societies are better than ours.

Yes, Whoopi, and in some societies "female circumcision" is considered perfectly normal. And in some societies, it's a well-known cure for AIDS to rape a young virgin. Since you're so concerned about people with AIDS, why don't you suggest that they all go rape young virgins. It certainly wouldn't be a horrible violation of these young girls, 'cause other societies don't see things the same way we do.
