Sheesh, this was as bad as having to explain an obvious joke.

Ridicule as police say kissing under the mistletoe without consent is 'rape'
Police have warned Christmas party goers to obtain consent before kissing under the mistletoe otherwise they may be guilty of rape.
The advice came in a tweet, since deleted, by the Police Service of Northern Ireland which has been criticised for “trivialising” sexual violence.
The force, which has 159,000 followers, tweeted on Saturday: “If you bump into that special someone under the mistletoe tonight, remember that without consent it is rape #SeasonsGreetings”.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostSo you’re accusing Dean Martin as being a sexual predator. Interesting...the song makes sense in the context of a society in which women are expected to reject men’s advances whether they actually want to or not. The woman is perfectly sober and about to have awesome consensual sex and use the drink (offered to her in the song) as plausible deniability because she’s living in a society where women aren’t supposed to have sexual agency .. It’s not a song about rape, it’s a song about a woman finding a way to exercise sexual agency in a patriarchal society designed to stop her doing so”.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThat is kind of the point except you really don't have to do any research. Just don't walk around waiting to be offended.
Once people stop responding to their accusations with apologies and banning things, and rightly point out to them that they are being ridiculous or just ignore them, maybe it will stop, or at least slow down. Right now it is like a popularity contest among social justice warriors.
