"Im a feminist. I study rape culture. And I dont want Al Franken to resign"...
"As a feminist and the author of a book on rape culture, I could reasonably be expected to lead the calls for Al Franken to step down, following allegations that he forced his tongue down a woman’s throat, accompanied by a photo of him grinning as he moves in to grope her breasts while she sleeps. It’s disgusting. He treated a sleeping woman as a comedy prop, no more human than the contents of Carrot Top’s trunk, and I firmly believe he should suffer social and professional consequences for it.

But I don’t believe resigning from his position is the only possible consequence, or the one that’s best for American women."

1. I'm fine with the photo of Al ...

It appears she has on a Kevlar vest and breast are not accessable nor were her breasts a real Target object of sexual desire...it was a photo where joking about was acceptable, prank style...

You are a sad excuse for a human being. I hope you choke at the Thanksgiving table

She studies rape culture. She studies a non-existent figment of liberal imagination. What a waste of time.

The victim of the prank was asleep. The picture was meant to demean and embarrass her. It was Franken's revenge for her not wanting to kiss him.

I think the 'Resign' thing on Franken is a bridge too far, and the dirt on Moore is so ancient that it should be written in hieroglyphs and then burned.  Unless it's a lot more recent than it is, there's redemption and rehabilitation to consider over that vast lapse of time.  It's not like he volunteered to be a guard at Treblinka.  I guarantee almost everyone, man or woman, has done something in the past 40 years that would get the torches and pitchforks out if the worst take on it came out in the press all based on the other side of the story.

Stuff that happened in the last 8 or 9 years is a whole different class, however while I think Franken's pic was low class and inappropriate, it's not worthy of calling for his resignation no matter how obnoxious I find him.  Not worthy except in a payback sense, that is.

I got a laugh out of one of the FB news feed stories today thought:  '36 SNL actresses [cough] sign statement supporting Franken' or some such crap...which really means there were 36 women who swear he either didn't touch their tits or asses, or they didn't mind if he did.  Hell, even Bill Clinton or Bob Cosby could find 36 women who were around them and didn't get fondled.

You a-holes called for the "resignation solution" for anyone who was not a democrat vote in congress or a big $$$ donor. Your solution to the new revelations of all these dem pols, lefty media stars and lefty donors is to have the female victims "close their eyes and think of England" for the good of the cause.    is the matter with you?

Me too, I would rather see him castrated, tarred & feathered and run out of town on a rail.

A new accuser came out about Franken. He was a senator at the time. He grabbed some woman's ass while having his picture taken with her. She told people about it and even put it on her facebook page at the time.  However, it was a bout 7 years ago, IIRC.

As long as Slow Joe is walking around loose, and even considered a viable Prez candidate, I don't think there actually are any standards.

This guy on Twitter has been taking heat from liberals for posting all these pics and videos of #CreepyJoeBiden.

If you haven't already, read the WaPo article. This chick blatantly comes out and says what Franken did is unacceptable, but it's more important to keep a Dem in office than to punish them for their sexual indiscretions. The primitives have been saying the same thing, but I normally wouldn't expect the WaPo to admit they're two faced so openly.

Im a feminist. I study rape culture.

Translation: I'm a humorless hag who nurses snifters of brandy and a grudge that no males hit on me.

Looking over that document, her lawyer should have smacked her upside the head over some of her failures to produce discovery items. Not that it would havehelped.

From this summary of the case and the ruling with which it ends, it looks like a mediated settlement may have been reached. If so, it was probably a nuisance settlement, in which NaphCare admitted nothing and paid Teresa O'Malley enough to pay her lawyer  and go away.

She studies rape culture. She studies a non-existent figment of liberal imagination. What a waste of time.

I've been trying to figure out what "rape culture" is since the post was first brought over. It almost sounds like some kind of society that would let anyone use any bathroom or shower because he, she, or it claims to feel like a particular gender.

The only "rape culture" I know about is fully endorsed and embraced by the left. Of course I'm talking Islam.

Who are also supported and defended by the left. If not by their words then by their actions.

I am a Dummieologist. I study behavior exhibited by freaks such as yourself that inhabit the dump and I want you to die as soon as possible.

The end.

Sounds like she is his personal bitch,doesn't it?

Of course there are,if you don't have a "D" behind your name.

Many of them,in fact. The left is even dreaming up new standards every day,none of which will ever apply to THEM.

Not if you went to college and spent $50,000.00 getting a degree in Women's studies and Lezbonics.
