FMJRA 2.0: Teen Angst

Two prominent members of Minnesota’s Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party are calling on Sen. Al Franken to resign his Senate seat following allegations of sexual misconduct.
Although many other Democrats have called the former comedian’s actions disturbing, state auditor Rebecca Otto and Megan Thomas, president of the party’s official Feminist Caucus, say he should leave office.
The allegations were made Thursday morning by radio host Leeann Tweeden, who said Franken harassed her during a 2006 USO trip to the Middle East, before he was elected to the Senate in 2008.
Tweeden said Franken wrote a play to be performed in front of troops featuring a kiss, and then forced his tongue into her mouth after insisting on practice. A photo also shows a grinning Franken’s hands over Tweeden’s breasts while she was asleep.
Otto, a candidate for governor in Minnesota, said in a statement that “I believe it’s in the best interest of Minnesotans and of women everywhere for Senator Franken to resign, and to set an example to powerful men across America that sexual harassment will not be tolerated.”
Thomas, meanwhile, told the Washington Examiner that Franken’s misconduct was “every woman’s nightmare on a bus.” In a Facebook post, the longtime party organizer wrote that while she appreciated his progressive vote record, the fear Franken will instill in women is enough reason for his departure.

Franken is arguably guilty of infractions less heinous than Bill Clinton’s multiple sexual misdeeds and, of course, Roy Moore was a Democrat in the years when he was allegedly cruising for teenage girls at the Gadsden Mall. These are trivial distinctions, however, in the Salem witch-hunt hysteria of the Sexual Harassment Apocalypse that began with the exposure of Harvey Weinstein’s career as Hollywood’s leading lecher.

All that matters, in this latter-day Salem, is that the accused are male, and any male who ever tried to get laid — or ever made a joke about trying to get laid, or otherwise expressed interest in getting laid — is guilty. Any man who ever made an “unwanted sexual advance” is doomed to destruction, and never mind your silly questions about how he was supposed to know his “advance” was “unwanted” prior to making it.

No mercy! If Academy-award winners and U.S. Senators can be automatically condemned the moment an accusation is made, the ordinary boy who flirts with the ordinary girl — at college or at work or anywhere else — is now on notice that he is at risk of career destruction. Perhaps 20 or 30 years from now, when he has become a successful adult, he’ll be dragged into the court of public opinion for a star-chamber trial, accused of having once winked at a girl and made a bad pun when he was 19. The old game of trying to get to second base on the first date? That’s over. It’s 2017 and male heterosexuality is a crime.

This was what I was warning about back in 2014, when the “campus rape epidemic” hysteria was raging and Emma Sulkowicz was hailed as a feminist icon for carrying a mattress around Columbia University. Paul Nungesser was defamed as a rapist over an unhappy hookup with Sulkowicz two years earlier, and anyone who criticized the unfairness of this situation was condemned as a “rape apologist.” Now, three years later, Hollywood celebrities, liberal journalists and Democrat politicians are being destroyed by this feminist war of vengeance, and why? Because Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, that’s why.

If Hillary had won, perhaps the sins of Al Franken and Harvey Weinstein never would have made headlines, but with Trump as president, feminists needed scapegoats for their boundless rage. A few famous men must therefore be publicly crucified, in order to terrorize the rest and confirm the feminist message that all men are despicable monsters.

We are living through a götterdämmerung, the end of an era that began half a century ago with the “Summer of Love” in San Francisco.

The Winter of Hate is now upon us, and everybody’s guilty.

Violence Against Women Update: Illegal Immigrant Charged With Raping Girl

Posted on | November 16, 2017 | 2 Comments

Police say Horacio Alvarado, 32, began raping his stepdaughter when she was 14.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:

As an undocumented immigrant, Horacio Alvarado thought if he could show he was the father of a newborn American citizen, he would be allowed to remain in the United States himself.
But the paternity test ultimately resulted in more severe charges for Alvarado because the mother of the child was only 15 and was his stepdaughter, according to a criminal complaint.
Alvarado, 32, now faces three felonies for what investigators say were several years of sustained sexual assaults, assaults his wife later knew about yet did nothing to prevent, according to the complaint.
Alvarado is charged with first-degree sexual assault, resulting in pregnancy, repeated sexual assault of a child and incest. He pleaded not guilty at a court appearance last week and is being held on $20,000 bail but has a bail hearing next week.
His wife is charged with child neglect, a misdemeanor.
The criminal complaint says the victim came forward last month to report the offenses, which she said began when she was 14 and continued for four years. . . .
The assaults continued after the victim became pregnant at 15 and later delivered the child, the complaint says.
When she was 17, the victim told police, her mother walked in on Alvarado sexually assaulting her in their home. . . .
The complaint doesn’t indicate when, but at some point, the girl told her mother that Alvarado was the father of her child, and his paternity was established in court in 2015, and there appeared to be a dispute between the victim and Alvarado regarding custody of the child earlier this year. . . .
Alvarado apparently believed in the so-called anchor baby myth, that having a child born in the U.S. might protect illegal immigrants from deportation.

This is the latest entry in our Violence Against Women series, highlighting crimes that feminists never mention, for some reason.

3 Arrested for Gang Rape: More Violence Against Women Feminists Won’t Notice

Posted on | November 16, 2017 | 2 Comments

WNCN-TV in North Carolina reports:

A woman who said she was sexually assaulted turned to Facebook Live to tell her story, which resulted in the arrest of a man and two teen suspects, Cumberland County authorities said Monday.
The incident took place on Nov. 2 after the woman posted an “ad for companionship” online, according to a news release from the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
The victim was later contacted by one of the three suspects asking her for a date, officials said.
The woman went to a residence in the 2200 block of Carbine Street where she encountered the three men, deputies said.
“The suspects displayed handguns and demanded the victim’s money. After emptying her pockets, the victim was told to remove all of her clothes,” deputies said in the release. “The three suspects then made the victim perform sexual acts.”
Authorities said the victim “was not sure where else to turn” about a week after the incident, so she “told her story to Facebook Live.”
Detectives said they were able to corroborate the victim’s account and arrested the trio Sunday. . . .
James Haywood III, 21, of the 2100 block of Ladyslipper Drive was charged with first-degree forcible rape, robbery with a dangerous weapon, first-degree kidnapping, and felony conspiracy.
Jason Tyquan Hammonds, 18, of the 2200 block of Carbine Street was charged with first-degree forcible rape, robbery with a dangerous weapon, first-degree kidnapping, felony conspiracy, first-degree forcible sex offense and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Brandon McKenzie, 17, of the 5600 block of Hardwick Lane was charged with first-degree forcible rape, robbery with a dangerous weapon, first-degree kidnapping, felony conspiracy and first-degree forcible sex offense.

Police say they are investigating the possibility that the men have victimized other women. Feminists have said nothing, for some reason.
