Some internet sleuths also found an interesting bit in an episode of The Cosby Show which probably went unnoticed back in the day, but is quite creepy in current context. Cosby claims his “special” BBQ sauce makes women all “huggy-buggy” and that he keeps a cup of it on the night table. The way he delivers the lines (in a low, serious voice) is disturbing. Here’s a youtube link to the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-1eEoIMX_c&t=20m49s
Not sure if linking to that will automatically embed the video here, and if that’s unwanted I understand.
In 2002, President George W. Bush awarded Bill Cosby with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. Now, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand wants him to give it back. The New York Democrat is supporting a petition launched by nonprofit group PAVE: Promoting Awareness/Victim Empowerment. The petition, which currently has over 7,000 signatures, urges the White House to revoke Cosby’s award.

Barbara Bowman, one of the first women to speak out against Cosby, also voiced her support. “Symbols matter. Bill Cosby is not entitled to the nation’s highest honor. Mr. President, we know you are on our side in this fight. Please show it,” she said.

Gee, if he’d just stuck to using alcohol to incapacitate his victims there’d be no problem. Salon.com and jezebel etc. would rush to accuse any commentator who mentioned it of ‘slut shaming’ or victim blaming.
Why do we recognize that pressuring someone to take a pill (which seems to have been Cosby’s method) is a prelude to rape, while pouring alcohol into them is somehow ‘normal’ dating procedure?
Cantharides (‘spanish’ fly) is a horrible poison that induces urinary tract itching. Checking for the spelling, I find that it is also a Traditional Chinese Herb…Ugh!
‘Physiological Action—Internally the agent will produce gastro-intestinal irritation, pain, nausea, vomiting, bloody stools, suppression of urine, with irritation in passing, strangury, swelling of the external genitals, general depression, convulsions and death. It increases sexual desire, and is an active emmenagogue and abortifacient.’

wtf? sorry, but one, people still slut shame, regardless, and two, your attempt at a red herring is noted, and laughed at.

what decade are you living in? It isn’t considered acceptable. In fact there have been several examples presented in blogs right here in this portal that have demonstrated just how unacceptable it is.
