Wisconsin state Rep. Roger Rivard (R) "is drawing heat for saying that his father had told him when he was young that 'some girls rape easy' as a way to warn him that a woman could agree to sex but then later claim that it wasn't consensual," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Said Rivard: "He also told me one thing, 'If you do, just remember, consensual sex can turn into rape in an awful hurry.' Because all of a sudden a young lady gets pregnant and the parents are madder than a wet hen and she's not going to say, 'Oh, yeah, I was part of the program.' All that she has to say or the parents have to say is it was rape because she's underage. And he just said, 'Remember, Roger, if you go down that road, some girls,' he said, 'they rape so easy.'"

It's called statutory rape and I'm surprised that a "lawmaker" doesn't get that.
Idiots. There should be some sort of test besides the one in the Constitution. Or just better vetting by the voters.

we have no way of knowing what he said to his son in order to keep the young man's pants zipped. There was absolutely nothing for Rep Rivard to gain and much to for him to lose by him relating this story. That Mr Rivard would perpetuate this "pearl" of wisdom just brings to mind the term "dumb as a box of rocks". One must therefore assume that Mr. Rivard has learned nothing in his years and is himself guided by his Father's view of the world.
