After she said that she was a victim of sexual assault, I will bet that a chud talking point against her is that she is just exaggerating what happened to her, since anything less than rape will just be boys being boys.

    They’re already going with the “she wasn’t actually at the Capitol thing” so wouldn’t be surprised.

      Well, she wasn't. However, for all she knew, the fascists were going to be coming into the building she was at and/or the police present would be sympathetic to them.

    Victims of trauma do not all have the exact same reaction to discourse surrounding sexual assault so please be considerate of that before suggesting that anything other than reverence and blind acceptance of a politicians emotional plea is misogyny. There are many women for whom the fact that we’re getting to a point where if you don’t broadcast your trauma on a given subject then your opinion is not considered valid is not something that brings comfort. Also this is a leftist website for fucks sake — we need to be able to be comfortable confronting everything about the most powerful people in this country with a critical eye. Sorry for always being princess unpopular opinion but it needs to be said.

        Of course I don’t think she’s lying but thanks for the bad faith interpretation of my comment
