TRUTH IS DETERMINED BY THE NEEDS OF THE CURRENT NARRATIVE:
Once upon a time, feminist writers at Salon and Washington City Paper were pushing a study that found women weren’t being given date-rape drugs in large quantities, and requesting the myth be put to rest.
But that was so 2009.
Now, when scholar Caroline Kitchens of the conservative American Enterprise Institute posts a video citing exactly the same study, she’s excoriated as a rape apologist — even by writers at Salon.
Single women must be motivated to vote for Democrats in November, so it’s not permissible to undercut the victimization storyline now.
