Note too that Stifler's Mom Sharon Bialek's lawyer, Gloria Allred taunts Cain for hiring power attorney, Lin Wood: "He can't handle this himself," she says. Indeed. So what?
You've heard the phrase "soft bigotry of low expectations" applied to blacks when it comes to affirmative action policies in our educational institutions and work places, right? This same soft bigotry is seen expressed towards Muslims, Palestinians, or other minority groups who are given passes on issues such as morality, civil behavior, and decency that normally earn condemnation in non-minority circles (Christianity, Judaism, or Western Civilization in general). What often goes unmentioned is the soft bigotry if not outright bigotry towards women who are given passes on things that deserve scrutiny, examination, and often correction or condemnation. Here's a quick example: It's widely understood that a man is supposed to control his sexual nature (read: eyes, toungue, and general distance) when women--especially at the workplace--show cleavage, a lot of leg, or wear an outfit that hugs the body so tightly that it practically makes the woman naked. It would be deemed weak, pathetic, over-board, or unmanly if a man were to report such a woman for sexual harassment. "Don't look then!" you would probably hear in a snarky tone. BUT when a women feels she may be in any way sexually harassed--often after "sexually harassing" men with her general lack of clothing--she is given full and immediate legitimacy and is coddled and supported no matter how unsubstantiated or unintentional the man's motives are.
In other words, society's general default is that women need unquestioned support and sympathy when faced with any possible affliction rooted in man's inherent troubled and always suspect sexuality. On the other hand, when women exploit their sexuality men need to suck it up, turn away, and deal with it.
Allred's claim that Cain "can't handle this himself" indirectly fits into the example I just made regarding the soft bigotry of low expectations our society has for women. This is not a positive advancement in civilization.
BTW: If Cain lawyerd up because he wants to intimidate women--as Allred said--does this mean that Sharon Bialek lawyered up because she wants to intimidate men? Ya see--soft bigotry.
Allred: Cain Lawyered Up Because He Wants To "Intimidate" Women
Ms. Allred: why did your client lawyer up first?
Legal representation is no longer permissable for a black man?
RACIST MUCH, ALL RED?
Democrats sure are “intimidated” by Cain.
Bona fide BITCH
It’s simply amazing the hypocracy of these people. Of course the media lets them get away with it.
LOL.
Herman Cain took a lawyer because it was the right and the smart thing to do. When you’re fighting character assassination, you leave nothing to chance. If Gloria Allred doesn’t like it, she can go pound sand.
Did Cain hire Anthony Pellicano, Gloria?
that woman truly needs to be disbarred.
What do you expect from a red commie?
ROTFLMBO!
Maybe Allred is the one that’s intimidated by Cain’s lawyering up. Could it be she’s projecting her own fears onto the accusers?
This is hilarious, intimidation is probably written on Gloria’s business card. lol
In the past I’ve sent dead flowers to people to make a point This time I’m going to send the money to Cain.
I would lawyer up also.....especially if I was innocent. Then I would take the women to court an make them prove their accusations or sue them for trying to ruin my life.
