blownspeakers: The Toronto Star - Ellie’s Advice: Q: My husband said that while I was fast asleep one night he had intercourse with me. He thinks it’s acceptable since I’m his wife. I feel it’s almost the same as rape. It’s my right to go to sleep and know nothing will happen to me. I should be able to feel safe. To do that without a person’s consent while they are unaware surely can’t be right. What do you think? Curious A: If having “sleep sex” with your husband feels so unsafe, you have bigger marital problems going on. This is what you should be dealing with, more than this one incident. “Spousal rape?” What crazy dyke wesbite taught you that term? Don’t worry, baby. It’s just sleep sex. It’s cool. Fortunately, the Supreme Court disagrees with Ellie (no last name given). She acknowledged that she got it wrong in her recanting follow-up column. Though mostly she’s still towing the line about how it’s other, un-acknowledged issues that are the real cause for concern in this marriage.
