Selective War on Sexists

Selective War on Sexists

When it comes to the feminist war on alleged sexists, we must admit it has been very successful in destroying high-end celebrities but the numbers are skewered in favor of those unfavorable to the progressive agenda.

Bill Cosby made the mistake of telling the truth about what's happened to the black community even in the age of Obama.

Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain were dangerous because they're black conservatives.

Then there is Bill O'Reilly, and the late Fox News founder Roger Ailes, both were forced to vacate the fair and balanced network because it is indeed fair and balanced. If one were to believe a recent Hollywood film, "Fifth Estate" then we can even add Julian Assange, one of the most dangerous enemies of the establishment, to that assembly. Sweden just dropped the politically charged, trumped up rape charges against him after seven long years.

It is so easy to level sex assault charges against anyone if one can get a high-priced feminist lawyer like Gloria Alredd or her daughter Lisa Bloom, who was handling a case against Cosby. Speaking of Cosby, I really haven't read all the details of the charges made by 60 women but I have a problem understanding why any woman would be attracted to this man. He isn't exactly Denzel Washington, is he? My, how shallow I am.

As the Cosby case comes to trial and jury selection ensues, how I wish I could be placed as a juror. I would like the prosecution to answer certain questions. Why are these women alleging these charges now? What were they expecting from Mr. Cosby when they met with him alone- a job, friendship, what?

Many of the 60 cases brought against the comedian are beyond the statute of limitations. The remaining ones are puzzling because they would have occurred after Mr. Cosby was no longer at the peak of his celebrity. The popular Cosby show ended in 1992 and the woman whose case is now in court claims Cosby assaulted her at his house in 2004. Cosby denies this and says all these sexual cases were consensual and they have been brought to secure large cash settlements in lawsuits.

What is glaringly obvious about all these cases is that they must be politically motivated considering the fact that liberal Democrats are rarely the targets of the feminists. All Democrat politicians support abortion and are thus protected against feminazi attacks or why would someone like Bill Clinton who has been accused of being a serial sexual predator get away unscathed?

Only Paula Jones succeeded in exposing the ‘Great Exposer Sans Trenchcoat' and getting him impeached. Three other victims, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley and Paula Jones appeared at a Trump/Clinton debate but the MSM ignored their compelling testaments against the ex president.

As a young man in Oxford, Clinton was forced to leave after allegedly sexually assaulting a 19 year old British classmate, Ellen Wellstone. Naturally, he claims sex was consensual but Ms. Wellstone has confirmed the assault which has successfully been covered up by Clinton supporters.

It is amusing to read how snopes.com, a liberal whitewasher, tries to dismiss the Wellstone incident as unfounded. Now Bill Clinton is regarded as an elder statesman and one of the most successful presidents who nevertheless disgraced the Oval office but at least no one died that we know of.

Not so with another well respected Democrat politician Ted Kennedy. I doubt that many millenials know what happened at Chappaquiddick to Mary Jo Kopechne but I wonder if they would be as horrified by the incident as I was. If that had been a Republican driving that car off the bridge and abandoning her to drown trapped inside and not reporting it for ten hours, I doubt he would have gotten off with a two month suspended jail sentence. Democrat sexists are sure lucky, aren't they?

Now with Donald Trump, they've run into another animal. He's a billionaire playboy who may have had the same sexual appetites but with one caveat- he listens when a woman says no.

During the campaign the media made a big stink about the Billy Bush tape with the crude remark Trump made but they failed to notice the exact wording of that remark. He admitted being rejected by a married woman he hit on and then said-"And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."

Braggadocio, of course, but note he says, "They let you do anything" and he was right because the Playboy mansion and Hollywood Hills are full of these women who would love to have bagged a celebrity billionaire like Trump and would let him do anything.

Like Bill O'Reilly, another television celebrity had a sex scandal involving his assistants and blackmail but the producers of David Letterman's late night show never pulled it off the air and sponsors never threatened to leave. But then Letterman trashed Sarah Palin so he was gold and vested for life.

I've made no secret that I've never been a fan of the women's movement but at its outset it did cover important issues like equal pay and equal rights. Once it morphed into the she man- hater club, it lost my respect. These women have become as predatory as those they claim took advantage of them. How can they claim to be strong women when they need a lawyer to portray them as victims?

I am woman, hear me roar? You mean meow?
