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

Knowing her, she didn’t actually bother to come up with a reason to get married after advising a roomful of college women that they should expect to give up their most basic rights when they enter it. Maybe the chance to double up your housework for no pay was the selling point.

By suggesting that married women are second class citizens. Quoth Phyllis on what you’d call it if your husband forces you to have sex against your will:

Looks like she has a lot of one line quotes of distinction.

Awesome. Another byte to add to my “the Schlaf’s Greatest Moments” collection. It’ll go right up there with the one about how if you act like a lady at all times you’ll never be sexually harrassed (always figured the guys out there who’ve been harassed must love that one) and the other one about how you should expect to give birth to brain-dead babies ten years after you’ve had an abortion.
