        Gross regardless but to be completely fair “cave in” within a conservative Christian context could literally mean just a side glance to get a good look at them

          Could literally mean anything from having lusty thoughts to full-blown rape. This is one of those hope for the best kind of situations, but if he’s gonna tell us - even via ambiguous language - that he’s a threat to the safety of women around him, then it’s best to believe him.

          I dunno, they get up to some creepy shit. Have you read their Bible? It’s pretty fucked up.

            Oh yes i have, my point is still valid that he might mean something far more innocent than what it sounds like.

          I get that is the ideal they’d like to pretend is happening, but let’s be real that they’re already doing that. Without the rose-tinted glasses perspective, this is not what is actually being communicated.

        These guys believe that the only way morality happens is if big Sky Daddy is watching them at all times with threats of terrible punishment. It’s why they literally don’t understand how non-Christians can be moral people.

          Oh, I know. I have a mom who believes that she is entitled to be the most despicable and horrible person on earth because she prays to The Jesus™ for Forgiveness®, which makes everything she does A-OK!

      While I think the whole thing is yikes, I think in this instance he’s referring to caving in to masturbation/porn, not rape… I hope.

            Just thinking lustful thoughts even if he doesn’t stare and nobody else notices anything. Literal thought policing.

              WTF. I just said “i also don’t think what he said is dangerous, people think he just means staring”. I’m defending the guy against accusations of being rapey. But please tell me more about how I’m “thought policing”.
