I didn't even go read the story, just skimmed a bit of stuff about it, and O'Donnell feels scummy to me. I guess I'm just the right generation (or demographic) to be 'receptive' to the message. <br /><br />WTF is it with these people? If there is any justice ALL these women will win their races.<br /><br />I can't recall this tactic being used in such a widespread way before. It's almost like they all passed around a memo on it. Maybe I just missed it before.

It really is time, but the state that gave us the Biden nitwit for decades ain't goin' to be an instrument for change.hombrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670099074010641958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-73855185758810642142010-10-29T13:02:18.898-05:002010-10-29T13:02:18.898-05:00I was going to write something profound about this...I was going to write something profound about this being a tactic used towards female conservatives over and over again, but Dave W pretty much beat me to the punch. <br /><br />I'll add, though, that a lot of societies use sexual attacks to shame and control women (and the men that care about them). We saw it, for example, in Iraq pre-invasion (rape rooms). This tactic that the libs have used on female conservatives is basically a less direct version of this. They can't attack them physically (although some very openly fantasize about it- see Sandra Bernhart's big black brothers and Sarah Palin, or even, notably, a video about C.O'd that Althouse linked the other day where the first response from Seth McFarland was "I would mess that girl up" or something to that extent). So they use, or attempt to use, the same ideas, shaming and embarassment, through attacking their sexuality. <br /><br />It's sickening. <br /><br />- LyssaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-43308421760677864722010-10-29T11:17:45.852-05:002010-10-29T11:17:45.852-05:00This guy is a lying sack of shit.

Seriously, he is either gay, lying or both. He claims that she was lying naked in his bed but said she wasn't going to have sex with him.<br /><br />Like there is not a lot of things you can do beyond sex. And any guy who has had many experiences with women knows that "we can do everything but have sex" is a promise not often kept.<br /><br />The bottom line is the guy is claiming that a naked woman was in bed with him and rather than try to bang her or have other such fun, he rolled over and went to bed. Bullshit. Not going to happen. If he had said he played around with her and she wouldn't give it up and then he went to bed, I would believe him. But just roll over and not try at all or at least ride the rides that were open that night in O'Donnell land? Fuck no. He is lying his ass off.<br /><br />Pure frat house bullshit. With any luck the sympathy generated over this will put O'Donnell in the Senate. And then this douche will always know he is the one who did it.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964994591293819655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-18509433865797132332010-10-29T10:45:30.770-05:002010-10-29T10:45:30.770-05:00Funniest comment I saw elsewhere: "Bearded c...Funniest comment I saw elsewhere: "Bearded clam or bearded Marxist?"

THough she may have probably had the intent to masturbate if she didn't do it how ware you holding her accountable. Even more so, how are we determing probable intentions. If she didn't do something, there is no reason to hold her accountable for what she may have propably had in mind.<br />Also, some people who are for abstincece are for that because it's a better option (for them) or because they had problems in life caused by their desires. i.e. many former drug addicts become very abstemious people. Is she saying we should pass a law mandating that noone can have sex till they're married?jr565https://www.blogger.com/profile/07630491937904835553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-88275531105977136532010-10-29T10:29:55.424-05:002010-10-29T10:29:55.424-05:00If you go to the comments at Gawker and Jezebel, O...If you go to the comments at Gawker and Jezebel, O'Donnell is getting all kinds of sympathy on this one. Typical comment is something like: "I don't like O'Donnell or her policies, but this is nothing but a failed, pathetic and gross attempt at "slut-shaming" by a douche-bag loser who is afraid of a little hair-down-there". And she's not really even a hypocrite since she made it clear she wasn't going to go all the way, and she didn't." <br /><br />I think the whole story has actually humanized O'Donnell for a lot of younger women - they'd still never vote for her, but they are starting to catch on that allowing women politicians (even the scary conservative kind) to be picked on in public this way is bad for all women.holdfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206911009978107266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-9145820424917406642010-10-29T10:25:44.873-05:002010-10-29T10:25:44.873-05:00She was not widely praised for her judgement but n...<i>She was not widely praised for her judgement but not vilified either. </i><br /><br />Villified for what?

Because when you make laws against Activity A, you are not minding your own business any more.<br /><br> Kind of like when Clinton passed really strict sexual harrasment laws where a CEO having sex with an underling is harrasment even if consensual because of the power structure and imbalance (ie because he is the boss he can fire her for not sleeping with him, even if he doesn't come out and say that she has to sleep with him).<br />And then he goes out and gets bjs from the intern. And feminists say that due to his position as a great democratic leader women should get out their knee pads and service him. <br />That kind of hypocricy?<br />But, as far as govts minding its business, like it or not govt is in our business, and has to be. Govts enforce laws, govt collect taxes etc. You may not like the particular way govt is getting in your business, but it's not realistic to expect that govt wont be in your business at all.jr565https://www.blogger.com/profile/07630491937904835553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-46004040360106603552010-10-29T09:04:01.188-05:002010-10-29T09:04:01.188-05:00Remember the story several weeks ago about the Duk...Remember the story several weeks ago about the Duke grad-ette who wrote a tell all critiquing her sexual encounters in college.
