ACE OF SPADES: Why Feminists Are Obsessed With Rape:
You may wonder why feminists never stop writing about rape.
The answer is simple: Minus rape, feminism stands exposed as a trivial lists of complaints — women not “empowered” enough in TV shows, Liz Lemon selling out the sisterhood on 30 Rock, Negative Body Image You Guys in the media, etc.
Minus rape, feminism is rather too obviously a list of trivial complaints by comfortable yet hysterical semi-affluent white women.
So they always are struggling to bring rape up as a topic, because it’s obviously more serious than the six millionth whine that Men Expect Too Much Regarding Make-Up and Beauty Myth You Guys.
And that’s it. It’s the “serious” veneer slapped upon a very silly and trivial channeling of personal anxieties and hysterias into an alleged “politics.”
Indeed. Related thoughts here. “One notices that feminists seldom debate or engage in dialogue with their critics. We may take this as evidence that feminist rhetoric and ideology cannot withstand careful scrutiny.”
