Why We Don't See Eye to Eye (Part II)--Feminist Bloggers on the Duke Case

June 29th, 2007 by Glenn Sacks, MA for Fathers & Families


Background: From time to time I ponder why there is such a divide between the feminist movement and the men's and fathers' movement. I wish this divide didn't exist, or at least that it were smaller. Yet sometimes I read things which make me believe that the divide will never be breached. One example is Why We Don't See Eye to Eye (Part I). Another is below.

In the blog entry Progress continues on the march to legalize rape (6/18/07) on the feminist blog Reclusive Leftist, blogger "Violet Socks" discusses the aftermath of the Duke "rape" case. The blog-- www.reclusiveleftist.com --is a fairly prominent one, so I don't think I can be accused of picking obscure extremists to make a point. Reclusive Leftist writes:

"Top story today: Duke terrorists are now actually being rewarded with an undisclosed sum — millions of dollars? Who the fuck knows? The message is clear: You can terrorize some woman all you want, call her a nigger and threaten to shove a broomstick up her and knock her around and probably rape her, and here’s what you win:

"Adoring national media attention

"The fervid devotion of millions of moist-palmed dudes who totally sympathize with how unfair it is to get nailed just for terrorizing some stupid bitch

"The profound satisfaction of seeing the woman you terrorized dragged through the mud, publicly hounded, and even threatened with legal action for committing the GINORMOUS [gigantic and enormous] crime of actually reporting her assault.

"Millions of dollars in prize money from your university to make you feel better about the terrible ordeal you’ve been through.

"Any questions about why every single athletic team in this country now has carte blanche to rape and torture any woman they get their nasty goddamn hands on?

"Throw up, throw up, throw up."

The full post can be seen at Progress continues on the march to legalize rape. Sigh...
