"The Great Seducer"

That's what Dominique Strauss-Kahn is nicknamed. I'm sure he's proud of that.

Rape is, however, not seduction. Yes, he is innocent until proved guilty.

Rape, however, is unequivocally not seduction.

1. Yet the allegation is not rape yet.

Edited on Mon May-16-11 06:14 PM by reorg

The two stories going around sound more like cases of overblown confidence in one's seductive powers and could be interpreted as misguided attempts at showing passion.

(on edit: taking a beneficial view, for the sake of discussion, of course :-)

2. OMG...I read your post Wrong...So Sorry...

Excuse me. "The Great Seducer" reminds me of another Political Figure who was just incredible in SPEECHES... Folks fainted and he threw them "water bottles" so they could get "re-hydrated."

Sorry...

5. It was really cool...seriously...when he tossed the water bottles to the fainting older women

that Summer of the Campaign. I had tears in my eyes about the compassion he showed. So...I saw it as a good thing...but, now I wonder.

3. forever.... the raping of young girls have been excused as seducing, so

not surprised at all this would be heralded as a compliment by his group that turn and look the other way. and it almost always applies to an old man with too young of girls.

it is creepy and has always been creepy for me

8. In pre-modern days "seduction" equalled tricking a young woman into a room, then raping her.

6. However, his day job is awfully close to rape

As head of the IMF, he fucks people against their will on a full time basis.
