george will, moron
http://www.salon.com/2014/06/09/geor...rs_privileges/
Washington Post columnist George Will doesn’t believe the statistic that one in five women is sexually assaulted while in college. Instead he believes that liberals, feminists and other nefarious forces have conspired to turn being a rape survivor into a “coveted status that confers privileges.” As a result of this plot, “victims proliferate,” Will wrote in a weekend editorial that ran in the Washington Post and New York Post. ...now, i'm not sure what he considers a 'privilege'. i know i have nightmares and the like that are pretty tough, i guess i'm privileged to have those?

Dismissing or doubting the claims of women alleging abuse serves nothing but to perpetuate and worse, abet the abuse.
In fairness I found and read Will's piece and also found it disgusting. I've known not one or two but dozens of women who were abused and although they each are affected in a different way and to different degrees, not one of them would as Will would say 'even in a delusional state' have considered it any sort of privilege. I now have to wonder what kind of self-absorbed or delusional state Mr. Will is living in that he has never encountered 'victims' in the snow globe of his personal life? I also like to ask him what sort of privilege he would reap if he had been a victim? Or don't male sexual abuse victims exist in that snow globe he lives in? |

I'd also like to add if 'nonconsensual touching' is included, I'd put the number of victims closer to 4 out of 5 rather than the 1 out of 5 he is doubting.

Unsurprisingly, The Onion does it better than George:
http://www.theonion.com/articles/col...s-to-re,36129/ I got involved in a discussion on Facebook with someone who said he didn't think the numbers on how many women are assaulted, etc., could possibly be right, therefore, they weren't true. Sigh. As they say, you cannot reason a man out of something he did not reason himself into.

“You have to start asking questions: Well, if evolution is true, and it’s just all about the male propagating their DNA, we had to ask hard questions, like, well, is rape wrong?” Isaacs says to a stunned host.
