Meet Dick Black: Virginia’s pro-spousal rape GOP Congressional candidate!

After running Ken Cuccinelli for Governor and losing, the GOP of Virginia figured that the problem was likely that a man who wanted to criminalize blow jobs just wasn’t conservative enough. Enter Dick Black!

Dick Black is opposed to spousal rape being a crime, because he believes that once a woman gets married, she has officially signed away her right to say no to her husband. Particularly ”when they’re living together, sleeping in the same bed, she’s in a nightie, and so forth.”
-------

Although Dick Black does not understand how marital rape can be a real thing, he is very understanding towards military rapists.

Via Mother Jones:

Black entered politics in the late 1990s after retiring as a military prosecutor. He spoke frequently to media outlets about sexual assault in the military, and called military rape “as predictable as human nature.” “Think of yourself at 25,” Black told a newspaper in 1996. “Wouldn’t you love to have a group of 19-year-old girls under your control, day in, day out?”

Well now that you put it that way, Dick Black, military rape sounds like the best party ever! Because, like marriage, when a woman joins the military, she also agrees to be a sex slave to her commanding officer.
