What is it about these idiot males either currently in or running for a position of power and believing they're experts on women's bodies and rape - more so than even the women themselves?
We had the likes of Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and other Republicans making absurd statements about rape. Now it's California judge Derek Johnson's turn.
It has just been reported that in 2008, Judge Johnson said the following during a case involving one Metin Gurel being charged with rape:
"I'm not a gynecologist, but I can tell you something. If someone doesn't want to have sexual intercourse, the body shuts down. The body will not permit that to happen unless a lot of damage is inflicted, and we heard nothing about that in this case. That tells me that the victim in this case, although she wasn't necessarily willing, she didn't put up a fight."
This comment sounds eerily similar to Todd Akin's, when he said, "From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume that maybe that didn't work or something, I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child."
I actually have to give the edge in stupidity of a comment to Judge Johnson over Todd Akin, for I'd like to believe that a judge would hold a better understanding of such things than Todd Akin, and Mr. Johnson obviously doesn't.
When Johnson started his spiel by saying, "I'm not a gynecologist, but..." he should have stopped right there. Whenever a person starts a statement with words such as those, it's usually a precursor for a stupid comment of unbelievable proportions. Johnson didn't disappoint on that front.
"...If someone doesn't want to have sexual intercourse, the body shuts down. The body will not permit that to happen unless a lot of damage is inflicted, and we heard nothing about that in this case.

Judging by that statement, Johnson's right - he's not a gynecologist. He's honestly not much of anything. Plain and simple - the guy is an idiot.
