(Via Hot Air and Jawa Report) The New York Chapter of the National Organization for Women, a feminist organization if there ever was one, just put its foot so far in its mouth that they’ll be picking sock lint out of their teeth for a week. (The following in response to Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Obama)
In short, gang raping of women is commonplace in our culture both physically and metaphorically.
This past week, we witnessed just such a phenomenon involving men who are afraid of a powerful woman. Hillary Clinton, in her quest for her Presidential nomination, has in fact endured infantile taunting and wildly inappropriate commentary. Indeed we have witnessed almost comical attacks by John Edwards who in turn sided with Barak Obama as both snickered at Clinton’s “breakdown,” which consisted of a very short dewy-eyed moment. Now John Kerry, who should certainly know better after his own “swiftboating,” has joined the playground gang…
Think about the legacy we’ll leave behind when we support Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. Let’s put a stop to the psychological “gang banging” of women and girls. Let’s stand up and be counted by way of the hard-won votes we can now cast!
One would think that when you are a women’s right advocacy group, you would treat such a despicable act such as gang rape with quite a bit of care so as to not further hurt those who have been victims of such a brutal crime. You wouldn’t throw it out there in an attempt to score cheap political points because you’re upset about an endorsement. In the case of the New York Chapter of NOW, one would apparently be wrong.
This doesn’t come across as a rallying cry to unite a gender, it comes across as exploitative against those who you would proclaim to defend. That is how you hurt your cause.
