Flashback: Amanda Marcotte's take on Duke Lacrosse


"Amanda Marcotte, appointed as chief blogger to John Edwards’ presidential campaign only days after penning the following “analysis” of the case:

I had to listen to how the poor dear lacrosse players at Duke are being persecuted just because they held someone down and fucked her against her will—not rape, of course, because the charges have been thrown out. Can’t a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? So unfair.
"When criticized for the remarks, Marcotte deleted them from her website."

The new gender-raunch community "Empower" themselves, not by extolling the virtues of "gender-raunch", but by ceaselessly attacking anything "non gender-raunch".
Somehow gender-raunch has created a misinformation Alliance of sorts with American law enforcement, which has turned a small group of perverts into the political superpowers they are today in some parts of the country.
Perverts can be perverts, but when A law enforcement community engage in protocol perversions and semantics games that serve to "Empower" one group over the other, thats when said law enforcement have stepped over some, i believe even international laws.

If I remember correctly, she was then fired from the Edward's campaign for those same comments.

Radical feminism married to governments are opponents the likes of which men have never had to face before. Sure, there have been patriarchal chivalrous societies that demanded men behave within expected narrow standards controlling liberties yet nothing such as we have now that swings the pendulum so extreme in a twisted manner against men while enriching women. Women may have been oppressed in some traditional societies just as men were exploited. It should be noted that most male-female related history as depicted by the rad-fems is far from accurate. Modern society grants women power and privilege yet does not require responsibility. This is not healthy for society and it is in fact very dangerous.

She's a lying whore. There is nothing else to be said about her, and there is no need to be polite about saying it.

It's very important that those kind of words be frequently re-posted so that everyone is reminded of the real voice of feminism.

So how did Marcotte avoid a libel suit? I'm sure the men she was defaming could afford it.
