Why do feminists hate when the facts reveal that rape claims were likely lies?
Salon's Heather Michon, who describes herself as a "[n]on-radical feminist," is so hermetically sealed in her gynocentric bubble-wrap that she refuses to conceive of even the possibility that DSK might have been the victim of a terrible crime, a crime that seems to have destroyed his career.
First, she mocks a presumptively innocent man. "Why, we should give poor ole DSK the French presidency just to make up for all his suffering." Then she calls the accusations against Nafissatou Diallo "DSK's public-relations wet dream." Anti-male derision oozes from every word.
The fact that this man she's deriding was likely the victim of a vile crime is of no import to her. She never mentions it except to ridicule those who have the audacity to suggest it.
Now tell me, dear readers, what do you call a male writer who writes with similar derision about a woman who might have been raped? Unemployed, that's what. But somehow it's just peachy for the Amanda Marcottes and the Heather Michon's to use presumptively innocent men accused of rape as their human piƱatas. And outlets like Salon invite them to do it.
But wait, Michon's not finished. Next she concocts what is to feminists the discussion-closing, ironclad argument to "prove," by innuendo, speculation, and surmise that a rape occurred even where it can't possibly be proved. It's the old "just because the district attorney couldn't prove it doesn't mean she wasn't raped."
It's more accurate to say this: just because a woman who's less credible than Crystal Gain Mangum said she was raped doesn't mean that anyone should take it seriously.
Then, Michon imputes a bad motive to the D.A. -- of playing politics -- by beating the defense team to the punch with the ugly news about her. "Strauss-Kahn is not the only one with a political future to ponder," she clucks.
It's as if she's downright pissed that the truth was revealed about Nafissatou Diallo.
Picture the villain in the denouement of a "Scooby Doo" episode: ". . . and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids!"
Then Michon blathers on about how senseless it would have been for Nafissatou Diallo to make a false rape claim. Michon obviously isn't a daily reader of this blog, because we could make the same assertion every single day of the week about our false accuser du jour. Most seem to have an infinite capacity for being flat-out stupid.
But tell me, Michon, doesn't your argument work better the other way? Isn't DSK too smart to rape a maid when he could have any prostitute, not to mention any number of other women, for a sex partner? I mean, you do see what happens to a man accused of rape, don't you? Hmm? Do you think DSK got where he did by being so careless?
Finally, trying to appear even-handed, she declares: "An actual 'victory for justice' would be establishing the truth of what happened in Suite 2806 of the Sofitel Hotel on the afternoon of May 14 and bringing any alleged crimes before a jury. Even if we take Strauss-Kahn at his word, he committed a crime that day: He solicited a prostitute."
Fine, but doesn't that mean that she's a prostitute, and isn't that a crime? More important, does Michon acknowledge the possibility that Nafissatou Diallo might have committed a terrible crime of falsely accusing a man of rape?
Somehow I doubt it. That doesn't seem to fit her preferred narrative. Sounds like the only "crimes" Michon wants to talk about are those committed with a penis.
Well, you have our most sincere sympathies, madam, because this is pretty much how all the high profile "rape" cases turn out. Rape isn't rampant, despite the self-selecting surveys that "prove" it is; it isn't one-in-four, it's more like one-in-one-thousand-eight-hundred-seventy-seven. See here.
You may have to pick a different alleged crime to get all indignant about.

I appreciate and agree entirely with this post.
However, trying to get through to those people is a waste of time.
The only thing we can really do is point out how disgusting and against truth and justice they actually are.
Hopefully, in the future, people who talk like she did - will be the ones who are unemployed.
A wise man once said you don't pay a prostitute for sex you pay her to leave afterward. These days prostitutes will refer the matter to the government (in the form of a false rape claim) to collect whatever they can.
If you look at the comments on that article, there are a lot of people excoriating her. And rightfully so.
Well written, and thanks for exposing the misandry.
Funny how Michon seems willing to believe Diallo when Diallo claims she was raped, but unwilling to believe her denial that she's a prostitute. if you can't punish the man for rape, punish the man for soliciting a prostitute when there's no evidence he did and the woman denies it. Which of her lies do we believe? Answer: any lie that will punish the man. And of course we are to ignore her behavior altogether.

DSK is a man. To people like Michon, men of all ages and walks of life are disposable creatures, only necessary when used for her purposes and the purposes of women and then discarded when they're done.
She's an awful, callous human being.
Heather mitchon is an ignorant uneducated little Raunch pig...Who the f@@@ does she think she is giggling about "American pervert courts" in effect denying the people of France, their elected officials.
Pointing out the vicious absurdity of feminists talking about any gender matter is useful only as far as it goes towards educating the general public. Feminists themselves remain unmoved by any sort of critical logical appraisal of their madness. What you are decribing here, in beautiful language, are the workings of the interior of a lunatic mind. She is not aware she is nuts. She thinks everyone else is nuts.
With that in mind our real attack should not be on her but upon those who employ her and allow her to make such statements.
Trying to get through to a femininst "mind" is like trying to carve the head of Hitler into Mount Rushmore with a toothpick because you think he "had some good things to say abbout race realtions and should be remembered for all time." It's pointless and makes no sense.
It's probably better to just write something like: "Heather Michon? She's nuts!" and then move on. Why give her the oygen of any more publicity?
That said, I did enjoy this piece. If only because when studying the mentally ill it is important to rember that feminism has given them a home.
We should publish international travel warnings for men traveling to the United states.
The new American "Gender-Raunch courts" don't like hetero-sexual males, and will enable any crack whore that doesn't want to pay her cab fare to ruin yer life on the silliest and ficklest of un-believable lies.

I sent you an email asking for the password to get to the archives. Did you ever get it?
And by the way, this is depressing. It looks like the Victims Advocates have captured the justice system here in Baltimore.

Hey guys, we should consider doing with women what the police are starting to do to protect themselves from misconduct complaints.
"New police crime-fighting tool: Tiny body cameras
Gadgets allow cops to record anything from a traffic stop to a hot vehicle pursuit"
Theses tiny cameras cost only $125. I think it will drive women nuts if men start wearing them. Probably drive men nuts too if women start wearing them. Big Bother is going to win the war if people start self-enslaving themselves to being monitored for their own protection from false allegations by others.

Atlas, American law enforcement can "Bloat their budgets" by feeding and fostering womens false accusations of rape and domestic violence, and yes it may very well lead to a "big brother superstate".
Are American males to "broken and divided" to stop the American law enforcement bloating, at the exspence of the innocent.
The gender-feminist North-Eastern states are full of gender feminists like Mary kellet who "Empower" themselves by persecuting males, but don't worry folks, they are spreading into the other states soon enough.
Instead of blaming the male victims of false rape accusations -- a crime far more stigmatizing and potentially harmful than even a rape -- why don't they blame the female perpetrators?
Answer: because these "feminists" are pro-criminal and anti-truth.
TDOM's comment nailed it on the head. I loved it, and it's quite true.
