Back in 2020, as the race for the US Presidency heated up with the Democrats finally settling on Joey “Fingers” Biden as their nominee, I put up a post suggesting that this meant the end of the latest Feminist wheeze of #MeToo, given Biden’s past, #MeToo Movement Achieves Room Temperature:
Biden has vowed to fight the accusations by selecting a women to be his VP, and to find that woman he has picked his old Senate friend Chris Dodd to head up the search team. Dodd and famous Senator, Ted Kennedy, were friends and their high-spirited, fun-filled times with young woman in Washington D.C led them to be celebrated in Democrat circles as the “Waitress Sandwich Brothers“.
Along with #BelieveWomen. But it turned out that #MeToo could actually grow colder than that in its approach to female victims of rape and sexual violence:
Briahna Joy Gray was National Press Secretary for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign and added to her Tweet with this:
“Zionists are asking that we believe the uncorroborated eyewitness account of *men* who describe alleged rape victims in odd, fetishistic terms.”
If such Lefties ever again talk about Holocaust Denial you can ignore them, and while this has been a global phenomenon it is the US, as usual, where it’s been most intense as Ms. Joy Gray is not alone:
Okay. So this piece of human offal is a minor player in the US Democrat Party, one of the “squad” along with Ilhan Allahu Akbar Omar and the bottomless piece of stupid known as AOC. But what of the more senior players in the Party – like the still-worshipped icon Michele Obama:
May Golan, Minister for the Advancement of the Status of Women of Israel, participated in an interview on Israel’s Channel 14 on Saturday and discussed the brutal acts committed against Israeli females. Golan told the host that her team had approached Michelle Obama, who had previously condemned Boko Haram, a terrorist group that kidnapped 276 girls from a Nigerian school. Unfortunately, Obama declined to say a word about the mass rape that occurred against Israeli women on October 7 during Hamas’ surprise attack.
And when she says “approached”, she means they sent Michele Obama the factual evidence – and got not a dickybird in response.
Frankly I’m surprised at Golan’s surprise, even if she is an Israeli Jew and perhaps somewhat unaware of how the Democrat Party has been evolving. To me it’s no surprise at all; Michele sat with her husband in the Chicago pews of Reverend Jeremiah Wright for years (“Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me“).
And this crap at the uppermost levels of America’s ruling classes is built upon solid foundations in its universities, as a lot of Jews have been discovering in recent weeks: Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Domestic Violence Prevention Group ‘Likens Israel to an Abuser’:
Plenty more such screenshots of this at the link.
But of course. Intersectionality theory, with its oppressed/oppressor base that must identify Jews as the former in our modern world, was always going to lead to this point. Way back in 2015, Columbia University had student activists turning an anti-rape group into an anti-Israel group. As with recent eruptions about DIE, this has all been developing for at least two decades, with the roots reaching sixty years into the past.
All the while, No Red Tape broadened its approach from examining sexual assault on campus, thinking about the presence of factors such as race, citizenship, and colonialism, as they intersect with sexual violence.
“The way that No Red Tape conceives of sexual violence is as a form of oppression that is related and inextricably linked to other forms of oppression,” group member Michela Weihl, BC ’17, said.
Read the whole article – but only on an empty stomach.
Meanwhile the international aspects of this are just as disgusting, starting with the United Nations:
UN Women condemns the attacks on civilians in Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territories, & is deeply alarmed by the devastating impact on civilians including women & girls. International Humanitarian Law & Human Rights Law must be respected & upheld.
I’m not feeling a lot of passion there. It’s as if it’s a rote statement, a feeling added to by the fact that it took them a week to issue it after the October 7 attacks – plus the fact that they deleted it soon after. Following were weeks of social media posts demanding a ceasefire and and talking solely about the plight of women in Gaza. Finally, on November 28, seven weeks after the attack they managed to squeeze this out on Instagram:
“We condemn the brutal attacks by Hamas on October 7 and continue to call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.”
Clap….. clap…… clap. BTW, that post was also soon deleted.
There was some condemnation of the UN and other international woman’s groups, but I saw no sign that they made the MSM, despite the intersectionality of at least one, Ms Assita Kanko: a European Member of Parliament:
Today, I have a question. A pressing question. For some Western feminists. How can you remain silent, when women and girls are raped, tortured, their bodies carried around naked and spat on by bearded men shouting Allah Akbar? Then you can never call yourself a feminist again.
Meh! She still believes. I stopped believing in these assholes a long time ago and giving them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully Ms Kanko has learned. Meanwhile one “Sgt Mom” (Air Force veteran, historical novelist) already had learned, as she explains over at the Chicago Boyz economics blog, via a strong, personal grasp on the evolution of feminism since the 1980’s:
You know, I would be completely, totally, utterly disgusted and disillusioned with the non-reaction of international, professional and academic ‘capital F’ Feminism, in the wake of Hamas’ rape, pillage and kidnapping spree of last October … except that I sussed several decades ago that the same international, ‘capital F’ professional and academic feminists didn’t really give a waffle-fried damn about the lives, ambitions, challenges and condition of ordinary women. I had no illusions to lose about the big-name capital F feminists, not after I came to a certain realization sometime around 1985 or so.
Until then, I had thought of myself as a mild sort of feminist – really wanting nothing more than equal access to education, employment, and consideration by society in general, given meeting the same standards/qualifications.
There were at least two MSM sources that covered the horror and the shame of Western feminist groups, although it also took them weeks to do so. First Newsweek:
It is not that condemnations of gender-based violence by Hamas have been weak or insufficient – there have been none at all. Statement after statement by organizations like UN Women, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) have failed to condemn these crimes. They failed us, and all women, at this critical moment.
Then the NYT, who claimed it necessarily took them two months to “fact check” everything, like the videos and pictures of the horrors gleefully uploaded to the Russian Telegram social media website by Hamas terrorists.
The Israeli Left-Wing paper, Haaretz, had two lengthy, detailed articles about the rapes, including the back-and-forth debates about details, but even those haters of Netanyahu, frequent critics of Israel and the IDF, and supporters of a two-state solution could not deny the obvious evidence of mass rape.
But perhaps I shouldn’t blame these feminist groups since they made up of young violent femmes, as described by a resident of San Francisco, Katya Sedgwick:
First, they took to the streets tearing down pictures of Israelis taken hostage by terrorists and civilians of Gaza. Overnight, poster removal became a global trend, spreading from one Western city to another. Most of the vandals caught in the act of methodically destroying the flyers were visibly distraught young women. One particularly rabid gal was filmed slicing the picture with a knife. Some culprits have been identified on social media—they tend to be somewhat educated and come from prominent families. Many appear to have some sort of Muslim background, but not necessarily—plenty of hipsters and students among them. For these women, defacing posters is often a group activity. If you confront them, they will assault you.
That article’s focus is more on the Western influences that may have led these young woman to this point, and it’s another good example of how this particular Israeli war has served to show us the holes in Western society. My living memory of Western protest reactions to Israeli wars in Lebanon and elsewhere dates back to 1982 and I recall nothing as unhinged as these reactions.
As such I do have to wonder if the beautiful young woman, Mia Schem, who survived the mass murder and rape of the Nova Party Rave, was once one of these sorts of feminists, or at a minimum a member of the Love Is Love brigade. No more it would seem after her fifty days in Gaza as a kidnap victim, ‘Everyone Over There Is A Terrorist’:
“Entire families are in the service of Hamas,” she added. “Suddenly I realized that I’m with a family. Suddenly I’m asking myself questions: Why am I in some family’s home? Why are there kids here? Why is there a wife?”
I suggest she read Hitler’s Willing Executioners for a start, not that she needs convincing but more as an explanation for what she experienced.
