The women are especially fierce: Klingon males suffer serious injury in romantic encounters. Also, the human male's motivation for rape (the cowardly exercise of power over the helpless) is not likely to be shared by the Klingon male. While some Klingons lack honor, committing rape seems particularly dishonorable. Of course, that is a human perspective.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>~'eD<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Tue, Jun 24, 2014 at 6:03 PM, Gaerfindel &lt;<a href="mailto:[email protected]"; target="_blank">[email protected]</a>&gt; wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Warning: &nbsp;This post contains material that may be sensitive or objectionable to some.<br><br>Based on Voragh's recent KWotD: HeQ and specifically the word {ghIb} - &quot;consent&quot; found under the &quot;similar words&quot; heading, I propose this phrasing:<br><br>be'nalwI' Dangagh 'ej ghIbbe'qu'!!! - &quot;You mated with my wife and she did NOT consent!!!&quot;<br><br>~quljIb<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Tlhingan-hol mailing list<br><a href="mailto:[email protected]"; target="_blank">[email protected]</a><br><a href="http://mail.kli.org/mailman/listinfo/tlhingan-hol"; target="_blank">http://mail.kli.org/mailman/listinfo/tlhingan-hol</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <br>My modeling blog:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://bellerophon-modeler.blogspot.com/"; target="_blank">http://bellerophon-modeler.blogspot.com/</a><br>My other modeling blog:&nbsp; <a href="http://bellerophon.blog.com/"; target="_blank">http://bellerophon.blog.com/</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
