I might be wrong, but I thought he'd said something to the effect of the rape victim "asking for it..."!!!!!! :loopy: :suspect: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I remember Judge Pickles holding court, if you will excuse the pun, on a Kilroy-style chat show in the 80s. He was claiming that once a man is sexually aroused, he cannot stop mid-coitus, as it were. Hence the problems in finding men guilty of rape. A rather brave young woman acknowledged that "it must be difficult" to control erectile tissue , but added that surely men can control "where they put it". Pickles, ever controversial, dissented from her opinion. I remember a horrible image of an aroused, sex-crazed Pickles running amok in a quest to satiate his ardour invading my thoughts. If only he had consulted me. I could have provided him with a photograph of my Auntie Marian; enough to abruptly halt the unseemly lubricity of any man. Sex makes fools of us all, does it not?
