Sex laws that make sense at last

[fluffymark]

The government is finally introducing a new long overdue Sexual Offences Bill, sweeping away all the old archaic and odd sex laws, and replacing them with ones that appear to make sense.
With luck, the new laws appear to be not only gender equal, but also sexual orientation equal, and use mutual consent as the main basis to their decision on what is legal. They've finally seen the light. Hurrah!

Oh, and to completely change the subject, theres a total lunar eclipse occuring from about 3am to 6am in the early hours of tomorrow morning. Yay!

*nods* The sex police would be an extremely unromantic idea.

Incidentally, what is your job? *wonders*

Researcher for an anti-Violence Against Women feminist organisation. So besides having been raped myself, i have to deal with the laws, court proceedings, crass stupidity, myths etc surrounding rape on a regular basis.

And i don't hate men.

The job isn't so bad, it's good to think maybe you can help people.

*smiles* If thats your attitude, then you're a truly wonderful person. Helping people, and crawling through much red tape and stupidity to do it, is a proper good thing. Go you! :)

*shudder*. Don't remind me. I gre up near there. Morecambe was my stomping ground as a teenager. The idea that theres now a goth festival there is very surreal for me. Eeeep!
