Welcome to the Patriarchy, folks. Do you really think this is the first time we as a nation have had to choose between two men who have possibly sexually assaulted or sexually coerced or inappropriately touched a woman? Even Sanders has his oddball writings about women fantasizing about rape to contend with. You want to reduce the chances of this problem to near zero - elect a woman. But short of that mind-blowing concept - Biden must win. I'll state unequivocally that although Biden was nowhere close to my top pick - I will vote for him. My gynecologist sexually assaulted me when I was a teen and you know what- as a sexual assault survivor - I'll still vote for Biden. Because these are our real world choices: a man who is competent at his job and cares if people live or die or a murderous, dictator wannabe who will continue to abuse this entire country until it collapses. 4 more years under the thumb of a psychopathic malignant narcissist and his fascist, monstrous enablers is more dangerous than this fucking virus. You know how bad it is under this blood-sucking, unjust, inequitable, patriarchal system? This bad: If the gynecologist who assaulted me was running for President against Trump and he was competent and effective and would appoint non-fascist enabling, decent people to SCOTUS - I'd fucking vote for him.
Compassion for rape victims is one thing. Taking allegations seriously is one thing. We have a democracy under threat from a fascist president. Tara Reade is an adult and she needs to be treated like one AND she needs to act like one. Prove your claim Tara. The burden is on her.
I love the complaints about Bernies "women fantasize about rape" essay because as far as I'm aware that was then current Feminist thought and demonstrates that he was reading and seriously thinking about up to date feminist theory.

It's a good thing the pandemic is over. Has anyone seen the bulletin of atmoci scientist's minutes to midnight clock? I'm sure it's doing good too.
Feminist take:
Democracy is when you pick between two rapists.
Also i love how none of this "lesser evil" shit is applied to China and Russia.

(unless they're accusing Democrats, then women are unreliable and will lie just to get men in trouble)
