The worst people have been out tonight. They attacked one of ours. A brilliant, clever, funny woman who also happens to be Jewish and a lesbian. You'd think that when straight white men come for her, they'd be on the "wrong side of history". But not ...

If you think: Women saying they will not submit is "an attack"; women should be denied the right to say "no" to men or define physical boundaries; that female resistance to male power is evil... Consider that you are part of the rape culture problem. ...
