For the feminists in the modern age,
rape is “normalized” for all males, white or black. Just as the “negro”
male supposedly was prone to rape, modern feminists think that men, as a
class, are prone to rape.
By Pierce Harlan: The
impulse to eradicate sexual violence is a noble one, but sadly, the
rhetoric employed by modern feminists in pursuit of that goal is a
chilling echo of the lynch mobs gathered at the hanging trees of the old
American South. Like the lynch mobs of old, modern feminism is animated
by a disturbing hostility to the due process rights of the
presumptively innocent. Anyone who would deny that hostility is a liar, a
fool, or both. It is time to stop waging the war on sexual violence
with the memes of the hangman.
No doubt feminists will recoil at this premise, just as they recoil
when anyone dares to speak up for the rights of the presumptively
innocent. Cue the spouting and sputtering of “rape apologist!” and
“victim blaming!” — responses that have all the thought behind them of
the tics associated with a severe case of Tourette syndrome. Compare the
rhetoric of the hangman’s sympathizers with the over-the-top rhetoric
of modern feminism, then tell me who’s the extremist, and who’s just
telling it like it is.
The Lynch Mob:
The motivating impulse of the lynch mob
was that rape was an offense so heinous, it demanded “instant and
severe punishment” — vigilante justice — without waiting for due
process. As one writer put it, lynchings “are extraordinary measures demanded by extraordinary occasions.”
Underlying the defense of lynchings was the assumption that rape
accusers were “victims” just because they said so.
