Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ko te wāhanga pai o ngā tautohe ā-waha o te Kooti Nui mō te ōritetanga o te faaipoiporaa i te wā i kōrero ai te Kaiwhakawā Ruth Bader Ginsburg ki te S&M. OK, kāore i tino whakahuahia e ia te S&M, engari i kōrero a Ginsburg me pēhea te huri o te kaupapa o te faaipoiporaa mai i mua noa atu, i te wā he "hononga rangatira, he hononga rangatiratanga". "Ae, he marenatanga i waenganui i te tane me te wahine, engari ko te tangata i whakatau i te wahi e noho ai te tokorua", ko ta Ginsburg te korero. "Ko te herenga ki a ia ki te whai ia". Ko Mary Bonauto, te roia e tohe ana mo nga tokorua takirua tokorua e wha i tono ki te Kooti Nui, i mea i roto i te whakautu: "He tika tena.... He maha nga rau tau, i a tatou, i a Uropi hoki, he pūnaha huna, i reira te tuakiri ā-ture o te wahine i whakauruhia ki roto i te tuakiri ā-ture o tana tāne, ā, he rerekē ngā tūranga ā-ture a te tāne me te wahine. A, he mea anō, nā te ōritetanga me te whakarerekētanga o ngā āhuatanga pāpori, kua whakakorea katoa aua rerekētanga o te ira tangata i roto i ngā tika me ngā kawenga o te tokorua faaipoipo". I tētahi wā, ko ngā wāhine te taonga ā-ture o ō rātou tāne, ā, ehara i te mea he hara te "whakamate i roto i te faaipoiporaa", engari ehara i te ariā noa iho. Ko te tautohe kaore i rereke te whakamaaramatanga o te marena mai i taua wa, he maamaa noa, he maamaa noa ranei. Ko te Kai-whakawa a Anthony Kennedy, e kiia ana ko ia te pooti matua i waenga i te kooti i wehewehea i runga i nga kaupapa whakaaro, i tetahi waa i kii ia "te rangatira me te tapu o te marena". He pono, ki te kore koe e aro ki te hītori o tōna wā o mua me te tūturu o te tinihanga i tēnei wā. Ki te mea he aha, me tiaki te rangatira me te tapu o te faaipoiporaa i te hunga tika. Ko tētahi taha kino o te tautohetohe e "i" tonu te faaipoiporaa i waenganui i te tangata me te wahine ko e, na reira, tetahi raruraru i roto i te pūtahi o te faaipoiporaa e hoki mārama te kawenga o ngā tokorua heterosexual, rawa. Ko te kaiwhakawa kotahi kāore i pātai ko Clarence Thomas, ko ia, me tētahi okotahi iti, kua neke atu i te iwa tau, kāore he uiuinga kotahi mai i te nohoanga. Me āta...
Sally Kohn: Ko te āhua nei kua nui haere te noho o te Kooti Nui hei wāhi mō ngā whakaari ā-iwi. E mea ana ia he nui ake te āhua o ngā tautohetohe mō te taurite o te marenatanga i te tōrangapū i te ture.
