I’m a feminist. I study rape culture. And I don’t want Al Franken to resign.
Washington Post ^ | 11/17/2017 | Kate Harding

Posted on 11/17/2017 6:47:52 AM PST by Kid Shelleen

As a feminist and the author of a book on rape culture, I could reasonably be expected to lead the calls for Al Franken to step down, following allegations that he forced his tongue down a woman’s throat, accompanied by a photo of him grinning as he moves in to grope her breasts while she sleeps. It’s disgusting. He treated a sleeping woman as a comedy prop, no more human than the contents of Carrot Top’s trunk, and I firmly believe he should suffer social and professional consequences for it.

But I don’t believe resigning from his position is the only possible consequence, or the one that’s best for American women.

Executive Summary of "I am a Feminist, Prostitute, I Study Rape Culture Leftism.

As long as you give me free things and unrestricted abortion I will support the worse type of toxic males including Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner.

... and your position on the unsubstantiated claims against Roy Moore?

And that’s exactly why Trump should stay in office and Moore be elected Senator.

Women (who accuse Republicans and people who don’t matter) don’t lie about rape.

It’s pretty well established that we forgive those “on our side”.

As a feminist and the author of a book on rape culture

"Rape Culture" is another example of how repeating a PC buzzword or phrase over and over again gives it a life of its own, no matter how meaningless it is.

Rape certainly exists. So does armed robbery, breaking and entering, and manslaughter. However, if some "academic" went around talking about how America has an "armed robbery culture," he'd be considered strange, to say the least. For something to define a "culture," a majority or at least a sizeable minority of people must engage in and approve of the behavior. I don't know a single person who approves of rape. Even in prison, rapists are generally held in very low regard, barely a rung above child molesters. But as usual, leftists, especially feminists, aren't the sort to let facts get in the way of a good rallying cry (and a hypocritical one at that, as this story illustrates).

Franken objectifies women at a minimum. The author is an activist for abortion. A true feminist.

Anything goes.

“Only power and control matter. Only the Narrative matters. Logic, consistency, fairness, upholding our own ideals, protecting the innocent, history, human nature, faith, justice... none of these matter... only the ability to force others to live as we tell them to.”

Franken might be a pervert, but he’s on the “right side” of abortion....and that’s all that really matters to a “ feminist “.
