By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape.

Damn right. And by walking past me on the street wearing a short skirt, a woman has consented to sex. So I don't think you can call it rape.
(I'm not serious, by the way. Just in case anyone thought I was.)
Oh wow! Sudden urge to marry this woman! Aside from that: no. Marriage does not mean that your husband can force you to have sex with him at his command. If you refuse sex on all occasions, well...that's what divorces are for, I suppose. But, no, marriage =/= sex slavery.
Well, then you thought wrong. It's rape if it's against her will, whether they're married, dating, or strangers. Dumbfuck.
I'm sorry, I failed to see any part of the marriage contract that states "I will have sex whenever, wherever", and if it did it would be illegal.
The Holey Bibble also states that a married woman has complete domain over her husband's body, not just him over hers.
Ya hear that, girls? You can rape your husband back!
Because "no means yes."
DIAF.
So, what does this mean? Phyllis Schlafly either sees marriage as a form of female slavery, is a nymphomaniac, or has a rape fetish. All of these prospects give me the willies.
Ah yes..a woman justifying Rape.
Just like Malkin, an Asian american defends internment camps
And Roy Cohn went after Gays.
And Governor Blackwell of Ohio, A Black Man, disenfranchised black voters.
Sometimes I think Conservatives only want minorities in their ranks so they can make it easier to screw minorities.
So...
By that logic, if I buy, say, a toaster, I 've consented to being eletrocuted if it's faulty?
@Shannerwren:
Because we're a male-oriented society, and, generally, men are raving, greedy, horny beasts?(Not all of you. Just a lot of you.)
I read the article from this quote was taken and, among other things, Ms. Schlafly (BTW: one of her sons runs Conservapedia) states that she couldn't remember any particular issue about which she'd changed her mind in the last 40 years.
Father: "Dammit, listen to me, I have 40 years of experience."
Son, thinking: He has 1 year of experience repeated 40 times.
Speaking of Conservapedia, their highlight article is Atheism today (5-9-08). If you haven't checked it out previously, and you are a bit of a masochist for lies and a myriad of other logical fallacies, I suggest you go read it.
Better yet, I hope her husband (is he still alive?) does the world a favor and rapes her in the ass.
Oops, that would be "perfectly consenting anal sex."
Yeah, pretty much everything about that statement pisses me off.
I'm going to assume that she thinks consensual homosexuality is evil, too?
By getting married, the woman has consented to marriage .
Not Sex. Sex is totally different.
And if you can't tell the difference then how many times have you been married?
Hm. I've never heard a wedding vow that entailed 'submitting to sex, wherever and whenever he wishes, so long as you both shall live.'
And I'm sure that if the woman wanted to massage her husband's prostate and give him the reach-around whenever she wished, that wouldn't fly. Even though by getting married he, apparently, consented.
Hey! Schlafly! STFU you hypocrite! God, I love the way she uses feminism to debunk feminism. If we really did go back 150 years - the way she really wants things - then she would have her law degree rescinded, she would have to stay home and live under her husbands thumb while her teenage daughter is married off to some old codger for breeding. She wouldn't be able to tour the country mouthing off.
@shannerwren: because of the impossible double standard we females are expected to live up to - the slutty virgin. If you're not sexy, you're a prude. If you're sexy you're a slut. Can't fucking win.
My marriage vows did not include anything about my husband using me to get his rocks off whether I was interested in participating or not.
Yours may something like that and if so, it sucks to be you.
Funny, how someone with advanced degrees has decided to tell women how worthless they are.
"I can do this because I know better, but you can't; you'd be a dirty stinking feminist if you did".

Why is it that before marriage a woman's knees should never part but afterwards they must always be a part?
It is easy:
According to fundamentalist worldview a woman agrees to obey every word of her husband as soon as she marries him.
So, of course, she also has to part her legs whenever her husband wants her to do it.
Or, to say it with the word "helpmeet" that so many christian fundamentalists like:
A fundamentalist woman has to be a true helpmeet to her husband, not only helping him by doing the things he doesn´t like to do, but also by helping him to get sexual pleasure whenever he wishes.
Last time I checked the marriage laws were the same regardless of gender. So, the husband has also consented to sex.
And doing the dishes. And folding the laundry. And getting that thing off the highest shelf in the pantry. And, and, and... Sex is just a part of the Marriage Arrangement.
However, you don't forfeit your right to say NO when you marry. You still have the right to say "not tonight, honey, I'm tired". Regardless of gender. Yes, men are tired sometimes too.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
