Try not to let your faith in show business, the political establishment, the media and our modern culture waver as the “Weinstein Effect” winds its way through society like dysentery in a third world country. Abused victims are parading out of the historical woodwork like locusts marching through a field of wheat and not even a seed is spared. Beginning in October a new paradigm of “national reckoning” regarding sexual abuse has become all the rage since Harvey Weinstein, a film producer, has been accused of molesting just about every female in Hollywood.

National reckoning seems like a serious issue and some wonder where it was when Juanita Broaddrick accused former President Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978 when he was Arkansas Attorney General. You see national reckoning today is recognition that some abused women are too afraid to confront their powerful abusers. National reckoning in 1978 did not fit the narrative of the Democratic Party so any females suffering abuse were expected to just shut up and many did. If they didn’t they were essentially ignored.

We must be careful not to ignore the fact that female abuse is being used as a convenient vehicle to achieve a means to an end. Actual concern for the welfare of alleged victims is eclipsed by political motivation. This is demonstrated by a run for the vacated senate seat of Jeff sessions sought by Roy Moore, a former Alabama state judge. Moore is accused of inappropriate behavior including attempted rape of a minor when he as in his 30’s.

Women are being abused again only this time as time as partisan prostitutes for an ideology that pimps them out to score political points. So the abuse continues as they have been traded to new abusers. This is likely to spur a backlash against Moore's opposition and he will probably win the seat comfortably. If he does then the victims will be trotted out again in future elections as fodder for Moore's opponents. No one cares a lick for the victims of abuse. It's all just politics.

Moore is not a sympathetic figure but he will likely win because his rape accuser will find it difficult to explain why she kept his signature in a cherished possession like a high school yearbook for forty years-a convenient find for an opposition reporter.

Female abuse is ugly but politics is uglier.

As has already been pointed out numerous times, the reason that women are finally coming forward is the veil of not being believed has finally been lifted. Not just for political abusers but for those in Hollywood that have abused women (and in some cases men). These women are finally feeling safe that their lives won't be ripped apart by their abuser's because the abuser has power.

The evidence is overwhelming against Moore, I mean who gets banned from a Mall because they were acting creepy against underage girls? Yet, that's the man you and the right want to elect in Alabama. A man that was banned from a mall and accused of sexual abuse is more appealing to the right, than a man who put child killers in jail. Party over decency is the Republicans new motto.

That's the shallow narrative. Reading between the lines takes practice.

The shallow narrative is supporting Moore. a man that has a history of creepiness and hanging around underage girls and now sexual abuse allegations have arisen which aren't out of the ordinary for this man. But hey, that's the man you and the right admire.

This is the narrative of the sexual assault supporting conservatives, deflection from the truth about Moore. You notice out of all the allegations, he has not denied being banned from the mall. Also not being denied by people is that he was known for cruising the mall. Thank you for demonstrating that conservatives put party before decency.

Because it's the most ridiculous of them all. This was before he achieved the judiciary.

Nope, it fits his habits. Hell even the RNC realizes this guy is a creep, sad that some conservatives would rather have a man who sexually assaults minors elected. That's pretty sick even for you.

I have no dog in the hunt but, it's awfully conspicuous timing.

I'd rather not have someone who supports the killing of children.

Nah you would just rather have someone that actually sexually assaults minors rather than a man who just happens to be pro-choice. Again, that's sick even for you.

You are really too sure of yourself. I'd slowly back away for the time being.

Are you intentionally leaving the word "allegedly" out?

A lot of innuendo, but nothing has been proven yet.
Boy! I got a whiplash! The party that ferociously defended a sexual predator during the 1990"s suddenly wants to talk about ethics! LFAO!
 
Abuse of women in congress has been covered for the last 2 nights or more on MSM evening news programs, at least NBC and ABC. Pretty sure some part of congress just held hearings on it yesterday, and Ryan wants to incorporate "sensitivity training" for the House.

Several congresswomen testified about their times as aides.

All the males believed James Brown I guess, in that "it's a man's world". :mrgreen:

Even Hannity and the RNC are backing away from this creep. And Clinton was never sexually assaulting underage teens like Moore has. Again, that is really sick you trying to defend Moore.

So you have no problem with sexual assault except when it involves minors. Got!

I don't defend Moore. I just said he has not been convicted of any crime except in YOUR mind.
Get a grip man!
Your partisanship and hypocrisy has been noted.

You assuming we're defending Moore rather than the actual truth. Neither of us know but you seem to believe you do

You don't give a **** about the truth, you just defend Moore because he is a Republican. Sad that many cons are defending someone like Moore who sexually assault underage teens. Really sick cons out there that is for sure.

Yes, the fact some cons are supporting a candidate that sexually assaults children over decency.
