I was making fun of the crisis actor theory, which is a ludicrous and misogynist theory that should be made fun of.
Specifically, a crisis actor theory that Warbler irresponsibly put forward. I say irresponsible because it minimizes and insults these women and any women (and any men) who are survivors of sexual assault, and it disgusted me to read his comments. That’s why I posted what I did. Hopefully there are no survivors among us (either members or lurkers) who had to read that nonsense. But apparently we’re no better than Alex Jones here, who put forward the same theory about the Sandy Hook children. No one who bothered to watch the emotion those women displayed should be able to even question their sincerity. Might as well question if Dr. Ford is also an actor.
I could have phrased my disgust more specifically the first time, or more civilly if you prefer, but I stand by the sentiment.
oh brother.
All I did was say they could be actors. And for all we knew yesterday, they were. I didn’t say they were actors, I said they could be. I guess you would have it be that any woman anywhere in the country and get up and say “he raped me” and automatically the guy she points to should have have his career and reputation ruined and and should be put in jail and throw away the keep. I am so sorry for being such a sexist pig that I don’t automatically believe any woman I have never seen or heard from or know anything about.
Seriously, it wasn’t possible that some leftwing political group couldn’t have put two women up to doing something like this to pressure a Senator on live TV, that has a swing vote in an extremely important political decision that ramifications that could last decades?
I won’t apologize. I have nothing to apologize for. All I did was say that it was possible. If I offended any victims of sexual assault, too bad. Anyone offended by what I said is ridiculously oversensitive and not reading my comments in a rational logical manner. I never said these women weren’t sexually assaulted. I said that for all we knew they weren’t.
But I guess in today’s society we should automatically assume all women tell the gospel truth all the time. It puts a new spin on “To Kill a Mockingbird”, doesn’t it?
