    Yet that rescued hostage from yesterday did not look very pregnant.

    Out of order. You can easily make the same point without resorting to perpetuating a misogynist myth about rape.

      “Out of order” is not quite a strong enough reaction for “We found a woman who doesn’t look pregnant as far as I can tell so that means that her and all the other women definitely didn’t get raped, so stop worrying about it”

        “Out of order” is one of the most scathing critiques that a well-to-do British person will ever make of someone. I’m guessing that it’s not received that way in the US.
