"It wasn’t just that [Eric] Schneiderman appears to have been a feminist in the brightness of day but a violent misogynist when the lights went down."

"The reality may be darker: that the power he derived from his role in progressive politics was intertwined with his abuse. He seems to have used his feminist-minded political work to advance his own career, to ingratiate himself with the women he would go on to harm, and to cover up his cruelties.... It’s impossible to know what exactly was going on in Mr. Schneiderman’s mind. But one has to wonder if his alleged actions were all part of the same pathological craving for the kind of ultimate power that makes one immune from consequence — that he got off on the simple fact that he had the ability to physically hurt women while being perceived as their noble champion. What greater sense of authority than knowing that you can rupture a woman’s confidence (and, reportedly, her eardrum) so thoroughly that she, upon your mandate, removes her tattoos, loses weight and comes back after you’ve hit her; that you can physically overpower and injure women and then scare them out of reporting it; and that you can also convince the feminist and progressive establishments to crown you one of their greatest leaders and strongest advocates? A man who derives satisfaction from riding in as a white knight fighting for women’s rights while he secretly abuses women: It’s so tremendously narcissistic it seems almost fictional.... So what are strong women to do if even the men who seem like good feminists might be misogynists, too? With right-wing men who oppose women’s rights, what you see is what you get. With these bogus male feminists, it can be crazy-making..."

From "The Problem With ‘Feminist’ Men" by Jill Filipovic in the NYT.

It wouldn't be so confusing and "crazy-making" if you hadn't indulged in politically convenient excuses back when Bill Clinton was accused of rape and sexual harassment. Stop giving Democratic Party men a pass and put the liberation of women first.

With right-wing men who oppose women’s rights

Right wing men don't oppose women's rights. If you were smarter maybe you'd realize the difference between people who seek control and people who seek freedom.

Yeah, there's a problem with feminist men: they are Beta Male weirdos trying get laid. Shouting Thomas calls them sneaky fuckers, which sounds right to me.

"Stop giving Democratic Party men a pass and put the liberation of women first."

It does actually all fit together. These libs are often fussing about rape culture.

And, it seems like it's not that libs are overly exaggerating when they say that we live in a rape culture.

It turns out they do. Cause they tend to hang w/ lib men, this is the reality that they know.

Quaestor said...

Feminism is much more a leftist ideology than a women's movement, whatever that means. Consequently, when the interests of women generally do not coincide with the current leftist agenda... well, the predictable happens, does it not? Nor is this just a feature of recent American feminism, one can see the same pattern repeated since the days of Madame de Staël's salon.

You know, this is the same party that for decades actually argued that they were doing blacks a favor by enslaving them. Even today, when some try to leave the Plantation, they send their fugitive slave catchers after them to tell them what's good for them.

wildswan said...

What is the mechanism that allows leftie women to be abused and be silent? I mean some of these women seem to be high class escorts but others are professional women, lawyers. Why could this guy hit, actually strike and hurt, both types and get away with it? Sometimes I think it's this "mentoring" plan, that women look for someone to help them get ahead more than they look for how to do the best job possible. (Daddeeee, I neeed youuu.) And sometimes I think they are a little bit naive about why a guy notices them. ("Attention: Lefty Fool-Girls, He's NOT Dadddeee!!!) And when they realize what it's about they try to keep the mentor while pushing away the man - and that's very naive. They think he's going to realize they are real professionals sometime and stop punching them in the face. And he is going to think "She likes it, good, next time I'll knock her into the wall."

But I don't know. Once or twice someone approached the subject of pain with me and I said it hurt and I didn't like it. I can't really understand any other response.

Democrat Women will "take one for the team"

I've never heard of a Republican or Conservative woman doing that.

Remember the French banker who was slated to the be the next French President.

He rapped a black maid in NYC, but then we learned that was like SOP for him. Then all the French chicks came out and said he'd basically raped them but it was OK, because he was a good Socialist.

Did not at least one of Schneidermann's accusers use terms describing a relationship; not just a one night stand?

With four women now coming forward, how many more have there been?

I guess if Feminists owed Bill Clinton a blow job for saving abortion, today's Feminists owed Schneiderman wearing a collar and calling him 'Master'. It is, of course, Trump's fault.

Hagar said...

How many men knew?

Otto said...

How does " liberation of women" apply? Where these women slaves? Where these women forced into a relationship by their parents? Where these women bought with money? Where these women blackmailed into a relationship with Schneiderman?
They made a poor choice on their own initially and sadly suffered the consequences and that pervert Schneiderman , if guilty, should be thrown in jail.
This has nothing to do with feminism. It's about choices and horrible behavior.

But this crap about women having some sort of bitch is obnoxious, stupid, demented and it makes you look like an asshole.

Now, the first step toward negating the power of sneaky fuckers like Schneiderman to con women is for you to stop conning yourself and other women with this completely unjustified Marxist feminist bitch.

It's a common practice of the Pro-Choice, selective, opportunistic, and congruent, Church and people with a twilight or penumbral faith. Beware liberal and progressive sects that deny individual dignity, intrinsic value, and women's franchise (e.g. choice, conception, abortion).

American "right-wing" men believe, in principle, that men and women are equal in rights and complementary in Nature. However, since philosophy engenders but does not determine outcomes, there are, of course, exceptions. Still, principles matter.

Shouting Thomas said...

So, prof, here's a common rant I hear from every women on the first or second date, without regard to the woman's political orientation.

She's been trained by media and the educational system to tell me that she loves gay men, trannies, and every kind of pervert and depraved sexual actor. You'd think she loves to wallow naked in a pig sty.

I don't understand the need to deliver this rant, but I do know that it boxes a women into a moral corner.

She's just endorsed every type of deviant, shitty and crazy sex. Now that she has, should I take her up or just regard her prattling as the common, inexplicable habit of contemporary women?

Birkel said...

No, anti de..., people are acting correctly now that the secrets they were keeping two days ago for political advantage have become politically disadvatageous. And to forgive the ass hole Dems for the way they acted, excusing terrible behavior, would require contrition.

Acting in self-interested ways now, by feigning ignorance and acting outraged, reflects on the hypocrisy of Leftist Collectivists.

As per usual, you have things backward.

Try George Costanzas' opposite thinking.

Henry said...

Shouting Thomas -- just what do you write in your personals?

YoungHegelian said...

It’s impossible to know what exactly was going on in Mr. Schneiderman’s mind.

Does this woman ever talk to any, you know, guys?

It's not tough to figure out at all. 1) Schneiderman was a powerful man & 2) he was into rough sex. The power helped get him some high-quality female companionship & he attempted, like any man would, to indulge his favorite fetishes with them. It's just that among his favorite fetishes were some that slid into assault. What sort of imbecilic idea of human nature thinks that political ideology somehow sweeps away something as primal as sexual preferences? Appetites are appetites, and they reside in the brain in an area seemingly impervious to reason. They can be held in check through discipline & habit, but they're still there.

I'm sure if one could ask Schneiderman he would tell you "I believe in a woman's right to an abortion. I believe in equal pay for equal work. I believe that women have been systematically oppressed throughout history. Blah-blah-blah. But, in my bedroom, I like to be a dom, like, big time." And he would see absolutely no contradictions in his beliefs! For him, rough sex was equivalent to having a hankering for bacon cheeseburgers -- a taste he enjoyed indulging. His women, & probably soon the courts, just saw things differently.

Sprezzatura said...

True, if we’re discussing Ronan Farrow. Untrue if - as appears to be the case - the big-shots in the New York Democratic Party knew and did nothing. Certainly untrue if we’re discussing the victims “friends”.

Can I imagine the need for O'Keefe to bust conservatives? That seems like a saturated market.

Maybe you should try imaging another Liberal as a talk show host. Where is the market for that?

Your questions are absurd. Use the Costanza stance.

Birkel said...

The Berlin Wall was built to keep people in.

The Liberal, PC Thought Wall was meant to keep the victims in.

These women were inside the Wall and both Schneidermann and the victims' friends threatened to shoot if the women attempted eacape.

And anti de... thinks that is a positive thing.

Jon Burack said...

Jill Filipovic is very far from understanding this at all. She tells us:

"So what are strong women to do if even the men who seem like good feminists might be misogynists, too? With right-wing men who oppose women’s rights, what you see is what you get."

What she means by "strong women" is likely not what I mean or most women mean either. It is what her circle means. Strong women would not be looking for "men who seem like good feminists." They'd be looking for "strong men" - though again not in the sense Filipovic means by "strong." As for "right-wing men who oppose women's rights," does she really believe that is what "right-wing men" do? It's laughable. She lives in a world of "abstract threats," as the line goes, "too noble to neglect," and those have "deceived her into thinking she has something to protect." Poor women - so utterly out of touch.

Drago said...

adSs: "Libs policing libs = a good thing."

This case is literally, l-i-t-e-r-a-l-l-y, the opposite example from what you are claiming.

Schneiderman, like Weinstein, like Clinton, like Kennedy, like all the others were OPENLY known to be pulling the crap they were pulling over years (years!) by hundreds if not thousands of "libs" and those libs pressured women to remain silent, attacked them when they went public, literally hired law firms to employ former Mossad personnel to intimidate them, etc.

It's only the courage of the women who broke through to complain DESPITE the solid democrat stonewall that moved the needle.

But for adSs to turn around and claim this example as a point of honor for the libs is so astonishingly tone deaf and self-refuting that it approaches LLR Chuck levels.

And it makes one laugh...

Once again, if you want to beat the snot of brown chicks and call them slaves, be a dem. Cuz you can get away with it openly for years.

But only years...and years...and years....and years....

Birkel said...

Filipovic can be understood if you read abortion where she typed "women's rights".

Right?

Drago said...

Birkel: "A talented prosecutor could find dozens more"

Schneiderman will never even be interviewed, much less accused and/or charged.

Ever.

The message must be sent and reinforced that anyone on Team Dem/LLR is safe.

Hence an investigation into "Russian influence in US Elections" specifically EXCLUDES Clinton campaign AND the DNC.

The corruption is completely out in the open.

I encourage you to use Berlin Wall instead of stonewall because the Leftist Collectivists have guards on the Wall to shoot defectors.

And the Wall is designed to keep victims at the mercy of the oppressors.

Feminist and male chauvinist rites find new life under a layer of privacy.

It is not abortion that violates human rights and denies human evolution, but rather elective abortion that consciously and with premeditation denies lives deemed unworthy, inconvenient, or unprofitable. It is selective-child, a wicked solution to an albeit hard problem, which is a progressive condition through normalization in a society.

That said, the natural, moral order is: choice, sex, conception. The Pro-Choice is: sex, conception, Choice, which denies women's franchise, and lives deemed unworthy for causes of social progress.

I hope someone asks Hillary about her relationship with Eric and her plans for him. He's in the process of being relegated to the status of unperson and no reporter will ever intrude on her privacy, but it would be interesting to learn of the dynamics of their relationship......Here's an idea for her next book. She could write about all the colorful and interesting men who have been part of her life. I'd genuinely like to know the full complexity of her thoughts about Weiner, I wonder if she would have let Weinstein stay in the Lincoln Bedroom. Was there any fondness in their relationship or was it strictly business?

I wasn't bothered, so much, by rape and/or sexual harassment in the Clinton White House.

I was bothered by sexual DISCRIMINATION in the Clinton White House.

We never did learn what happened to the male interns, or the ugly female interns, or the strictly chaste pretty female interns. But we learned that after Monica gave Bill a blow job, Bill gave Monica a PENTAGON job. (GS-9, security clearance required).

If there were smarter, harder working, more patriotic, better prepared, more intrinsically well-organized ... yadda yadda yadda ... applicants for that Pentagon job, well, tough. The President has exercised his, uhm, discretion. He wants the slot for his slut. No others need apply.

Monica was not the victim. EVERYBODY ELSE who applied for a Pentagon job was a victim. EVERY AMERICAN who depended on the Pentagon to put qualified people into necessary jobs, and had instead got Monica as an unqualified person or doing un-necessary job, was a victim.

Monica was only a "victim" in that she didn't LIKE her Pentagon job. She wanted sugar-Billy to lean on Vernon Jordan to get her some more entertaining or more fashionable job, maybe in the cosmetics or textile industries. Which, maybe, would have been a better thing for Bill to have done, rather than put his bimbo expenses on the taxpayers' dime. Linda Tripp certainly seemed to think Monica would be personally better off "working" somewhere other than the Pentagon. But Monica didn't get the job she dreamed of. If such a disappointment is victimization, well, the girl was not by any stretch the first such victim.

I have a question for you, and I hope you might answer directly.

I believe in a robust self-defense principle. Anything that actively attempts to kill a person, for any reason, can be killed to defend the innocent party.

Therefore, I strongly believe a woman who would be killed by attempting to carry her baby to term has a right to defend her own life.

What do you say?

Steve said...

I hope you all do not believe there is a necessary link between political belief and behavior. That would mean you accept the foundational leftist notion that "the personal is political". You would then have accepted that notion and your arguments will fail you. You'd be playing by the leftist rules. It's like accepting the Marxist division of the world into classes of people with its almost Calvinistic determinism. If you argue that people can be fully described and understood due to their class membership, you are accepting that basic premise and playing by the Marxist rules.Your arguments from that point will fail even if you believe you are advocating conclusions in opposition to the Marxist viewpoint. Best to sever ideology from behavior, especially if the topic involves criminal acts where intent or beliefs of the criminal are inferred from the actions. Best minds have always severed beliefs from actions, such as David Hume arguing against causation but admitting when he finished philosophizing he'd go play billiards and thus rely entirely on commonly held rules of causation.

"I just read Lonesome Dove. Democrats are like Jake Spoon. Slick smooth talking users who abuse at will. For some reason biological reason a lot women fall for it."

Simple. Because the kinds of men who are like that are also, generally, the kinds of men who do anything to get what they want - which is, biologically speaking, important for survival in any era/age/civilization. Since survival is the number one goal a mother has for her children, men with this trait are selected for in a sexual way.

The trick is, to be the man that get what he wants at (almost) any cost, not put up with drama and shit tests from women, but still treat them with respect once they've earned it, and to be open to actually falling in love when you meet the right one. "Nice guys" who treat women with sickening deference and are blinded by beauty before discovering character are left in the dust because women sense they can be easily manipulated by a combination of pouting, crying, temper tantrums, and bitch-level shit tests. Those men end up as incels, unless they either man up or lower their standards.

The sexual marketplace is vicious, but one does not need to be vicious to succeed. Confident and self-assured are usually enough, paired with conversational talent (learned or innate).

"A Right Leaning man will tell a woman when she is full of shit and she can take care of her own panties."

If done correctly, this will be more successful than the Left-leaning man's strategy. Women in general don't want a man to fawn over them 24/7, or always agree with them - especially good-looking women. Pretty girls are rarely ever challenged by men, because men are mostly blinded by beauty. A man who calls a woman out on her shit might earn a moment of anger from her, but will also pique her interest, make her wonder what's different about this man, and earn a measure of reproductive respect from her.

Do it right, and enough, and she'll WANT you to take care of her panties.

Namely by removing them.

"She's been trained by media and the educational system to tell me that she loves gay men, trannies, and every kind of pervert and depraved sexual actor. You'd think she loves to wallow naked in a pig sty."

Yeah, I remember this too. I haven't dated in awhile (ya know, the whole married thing), but most of the women I dated proclaimed this at some point, usually if the topic came up somehow. For a year, I rented a nice townhouse near downtown Naperville, and my neighbors were gay (the "gaybors", we called them). I dated three women in that complex over the course of the year, with quite a bit of overlap. Two of them thought my gaybors were just adorable. The third was raised quite Christian and thought different. She was my favorite, though lacking in the bedroom department (good looking but very self-conscious despite my most earnest effort).

The two women who were cool with it took some work, but by the end I had them both agreeing with me (at least, in my presence) that a) being gay was mostly a lifestyle choice, b) being gay was sexually risky and led to dangerous promiscuity (this was easily observed by seeing new cars parked outside their half of the townhouse each weekend and seeing new faces on their balcony most Saturday nights), and c) the sex itself was distasteful and gross.

I don't know if I actually changed their hearts and minds, but one of the two was no longer speaking with the gaybors except when necessary by the time I moved out - and we hadn't been together for a month or so by that point.

Birkel:

Therefore, I strongly believe a woman who would be killed by attempting to carry her baby to term has a right to defend her own life.

What do you say?


Self-defense is a natural, a civil, and moral right. What remains is reconciliation, which has special significance in the case of a mother and child. Ideally, the child will receive care up to but not including the mother's life, but then it is indeed her choice and sacrifice.

Well, it boils down to abortion rights, doesn't it? That is the great divide. A man can treat women with respect and kindness, but if he is pro-life he will always be seen as "anti-woman." Hell, a woman who is pro-life is seen as "anti-women" by leftist feminists. The shabby behavior of a man will be forgiven or ignored if he is pro-choice.

Schneiderman, Schneiderman
Does whatever Joe Biden can
Slaps a girl, lordy be,
Catches thieves, cuz he's AG
Look out!
Here comes ol' Schneiderman.

Is he a Dem?
But, of course,
He's a liberal action force!
They'll put him back upon the shelf,
He's gonna have to arrest himself
Hey, there
There goes ol' Schneiderman.

He couldn't guess
Hurting girls was a crime
Then it hit the press
And he resigned just in time!

Schneiderman, Schneiderman
Unfriendly SOB Schneiderman
Wealth and fame
That's all gone
Tells the media, "Get off my lawn!"

To him, life is a great big talk show
Probably on CNN, yo,
You'll find ol' Schneiderman!

FIDO,

" I suspect that the things that most of what Feminists rail against is Biology"

You should do way more than just 'suspect' this; it is the heart and soul of feminism.

Birkel,

Don't stop halfway: read "killing babies" where she typed "women's rights".

I was friends once with a woman who periodically attended "take back the night" walks and similar events. She started dating this guy who was SO into going to those things with her. To me, his eagerness to attend was a warning sign... and I was right. He turned out to be an abusive scumbag. He was attending those rallies to attract a certain type of woman, who would overlook his many red flags (chain smoking, vague claims of having been in the Army in "special forces," etc.) simply because he was espousing the proper political point of view.

PatHMV said...

Kyzer, I had gay neighbors for many years, and they weren't anything like you describe. They had a warm and committed relationship, were not promiscuous, were kind and decent and friendly. They were some of my favorite people on the block. Their relationship with each other, so far as I could ever see, was pretty typical of married couples I know, gay or straight.

Your neighbors may have been promiscuous assholes, I don't know. But it's not their gayness that is the problem, there.

It maybe that when women come to believe in the fables of left wing feminism, they begin to lose IQ points and just get dumber and dumber.

It wouldn't be so confusing and "crazy-making" if you hadn't indulged in politically convenient excuses back when Bill Clinton was accused of rape and sexual harassment. Stop giving Democratic Party men a pass and put the liberation of women first.


Ding ding ding! Althouse for the win!

Of course, the problem with this is that, if the Democrats actually stopped being the Party of "be a scumbag, it's ok as long as you vote Left", they might lose enough votes that they stay in the minority for years.

And they value political power more than they care about women

I hope you all do not believe there is a necessary link between political belief and behavior. That would mean you accept the foundational leftist notion that "the personal is political".

What I believe is that sick monsters who want to abuse people are strongly attracted by the fact that Democrats will give those sick monsters a pass, so long as the monsters vote and talk Left.

You can call that whatever you want. I call it "paying attention to reality."


Oh, and @MayBee, it was "Occupy Wall Street" that had all the rapes Breitbart wanted to expose

"So what are strong women to do if even the men who seem like good feminists might be misogynists, too?"

"Seem like". How does an abuser "seem like" a good feminist?

Simple.

There are words, and there are deeds.

Words matter to the Left. Deeds matter to the Right.

Words matter to the emotional. Deeds matter to the logical.

Words matter to ...

"Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies"... and I won't care if you slap me around a bit.

This is why Trump is doubly-vexing to the Left. Not only is he doing right-wing things, he's saying right-wing things! At least the Romneys of the world would only speak the correct platitudes...

what a '60s concept.

in 2018, what are they to be liberated from?

And transitioned to?

by who?
