Scott Weiland was compelled to write the lyrics after an incident in which a girl he was dating was raped by three high school football players after a party. Thus, Weiland has stated the song is an anti-rape statement, not a song simply about sex, saying: "This song is really not about sex at all. It’s about control, violence and abuse of power."

Weiland found himself in the position of defending "Sex Type Thing" to individuals who took the first-person approach he used in the song ("I am a man, a man/I'll give ya something that ya won't forget/I said ya shouldn't have worn that dress") literally. "It was, 'All right, the "Cop Killer" controversy's dead, let's try to find something else,' " says Weiland, who has been outspoken in the press about women's rights and contends that he wrote the song in the mind-set of what he has called "the typical American macho jerk" because he didn't want to sound peachy. "I never thought that people would ever seriously think that I was an advocate of date rape."

Yes, but, safe abortion access should be available even to those who weren't raped.

3 miles is roughly how far you can see to the horizon (before the curvature of the earth blocks your line of sight)

What kinda bullshit is this. One guy tries to overthrow the government and somehow it's necessary for the good of the republic to force him onto the ballot, yet these jokers just decide they don't wanna play ball and put the current president on their ballot.

$1000 per instance of contempt is the maximum fine by statute (which yes, means it only punishes the poor). Its possible to be jailed as well, but I think the judge doesn't want to jump to that too eagerly given the circumstances.

Funny how the automated system always catches musks political opponents and not any of his allies

Weve never had to worry about it before, there's no precedent
