Modern Feminists Still On Their Knees Before Bill Clinton
[guest post by Dana]
Last year, without any seeming self-awareness, Hillary Clinton pandered to her base of young female supporters who buy into the nominee’s dog-and-pony feminist show:
This also appeared on her campaign website.
Not long afterward, Clinton, after being asked at a campaign rally by a rape survivor whether the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting them, like Juanita Broaddrick, should also be “believed,” was compelled to answer:
Well, I would say that everybody should be believed at first until they are disbelieved based on evidence.
This weekend, BuzzFeed published a sad and infuriating interview with Juanita Broaddrick. She, of course, is the former nursing home administrator who claimed that Bill Clinton raped her in 1978. Bill Clinton denied the accusation.
Rebecca Schoenkopf, editor of Wonkette and now rape apologist, has written a revealing response to the Broaddrick interview, and in doing so, reminds readers of the sick mental contortions feminists twist themselves into as they continue to rationalize Bill Clinton’s bad behavior toward women. If it’s Bill Clinton sexually assaulting a woman, then by default, it can’t really be sexual assault:
There is simply no reason Hillary Clinton would have known jackshit about it; Bill Clinton was always lying to her, and she loved him, and she kept believing him when it was long past silly to do so.
…
I can absolutely see Bill Clinton doing this (then, not now) and not even thinking of it as rape, but thinking of it as dominant, alpha sex. I can see a LOT of men doing that during that time period, before we started telling them in the ’80s, “hey, that is rape, do not do that.” I can see YOUR NICE GRANDPA doing that, back then.
…
“Rape is about power, not sex.” For those for whom it’s about power, those are the serial rapist guys, and they hate women and want to punish us. But I don’t think that’s in every case. I think good men can rape, and be sorry, and not do it again. This is very bad feminism.
Here’s Schoenkopf’s summation of that purveyor of notoriously bad feminism:
To sum up, I think Bill Clinton could very well have raped Juanita Broaddrick; that it doesn’t make him an evil man, or irredeemable (I’m Catholic; we’re all forgiven, if we’re sorry, and Broaddrick says Bill Clinton personally called her up to apologize). It doesn’t even necessarily make him a bad feminist — you know, later, once he stops doing that.
It’s unbelievable to me that in 40 years, women on the left are still utterly dishonest and unable to simply call a rapist a rapist.
While Schoenkopf makes efforts to convince us that Hillary’s love for Bill blinded her to his abuse of women, Hillary herself has once again revealed what she thinks of women like Broaddrick, women who suffered greatly at the hands of her husband and other practitioners of “bad feminism”:
The Clinton campaign has removed a pledge from its website stating that all survivors of sexual assault “have the right to be believed.”
On a page dedicated to “Campus sexual assault” on HillaryClinton.com, this passage from the Democratic presidential candidate used to be prominently featured last year: “I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault: Don’t let anyone silence your voice. You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed, and we’re with you.”
But by February of this year, those lines had been deleted, according to BuzzFeed News.
The online website says the scrubbing came after the election-cycle reemergence of Juanita Broaddrick, who has accused Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978 when he was lieutenant governor of Arkansas.

narciso (732bc0) — 8/16/2016 @ 6:36 amWould it be sexist to say that Bill Clinton’s groupies, and there are lots of them, wish that they had been Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley, Paula Jones, and most of all Monica Lewinsky, their claims to feminism notwithstanding?
nk (dbc370) — 8/16/2016 @ 6:50 amYes, nk, I think it would be safe to say that.
Dana (e9ede2) — 8/16/2016 @ 7:35 amAlso not sexist to say, btw…
Dana (e9ede2) — 8/16/2016 @ 7:38 amThere are people in this world–maybe most people in this world–who worship, fundamentally, power, and will do or say anything to serve it.
If I were Christian I would say this was the strongest evidence that the devil is real.
Gabriel Hanna (64d4e1) — 8/16/2016 @ 7:58 amThe lovely Mrs Clinton said that we need to end sexual assault on campus, but, like any good leftist, she can’t say how. We need to end all crimes, but somehow I can’t think of one we’ve actually managed to end.
The Dana very glad that he's been married for 37 years, 2 months and 28 days (f6a568) — 8/16/2016 @ 8:12 amand she defended an actual rapist in court, playing on some excluded evidence, some tricks out of the devil’s advocate,
narciso (732bc0) — 8/16/2016 @ 8:24 amHey, Dana in Pennsylvania: The shortest sentence in English is “I am”. What’s the longest?
nk (dbc370) — 8/16/2016 @ 8:29 amI’d suggest that the shortest sentence in English is “Go!”
Chuck Bartowski (8489f0) — 8/16/2016 @ 9:11 amTo sum up, I think Bill Clinton could very well have raped Juanita Broaddrick; that it doesn’t make him an evil man, or irredeemable (I’m Catholic; we’re all forgiven, if we’re sorry, and Broaddrick says Bill Clinton personally called her up to apologize).
Ms. Schoenkopf is probably Catholic in the same way that I am French. I have a historical family ties there and I’ve been to the country twice, but I don’t speak the language or care much for the culture or particularly agree with the majority of the people.
JVW (f97acd) — 8/16/2016 @ 9:12 amIt’s a joke Chuck. The answer is: I do.
Rev. Hoagie® (0f4ef6) — 8/16/2016 @ 9:16 amI know the answer to your joke, nk. Good one. Happy 37.367th anniversary, Dana.
JVW (f97acd) — 8/16/2016 @ 9:17 amIf she we Catholic then she would know we are NOT all forgiven or there would be no hell. One must ask God for forgiveness, repent and do penance and never do it again all of which I very much doubt a character like Clinton did.
Rev. Hoagie® (0f4ef6) — 8/16/2016 @ 9:22 amThis story was oin page 9 of the New York Post today.
Here’s the online version, which contains some links:

If you think you heard this before, you should not be puzzled. This is not actual news. The only new development was that Buzzfeed decided to do a story about this.
I did not know, though, that she had a statement about believing rape victims on her website, and totally removed that declaration from her website…six months ago. Her website was scrubbed of that statement by February. (maybe earlier, but that’s when Buzzfeed must have checked or maybe the Internet archive has an archive page dated February)
Sammy Finkelman (643dcd) — 8/16/2016 @ 9:47 amRebecca Schoenkopf:
I don’t think so, at least not after it became a problem for him.
That’s what she’d like people to believe.
Juanita Broderick definitely got the feeling when Hillary to spoke to her, that she knew. Maybe didn’t know the exact facts, but she knew that Juanita Broderick was not saying something.
Someone claimed to her that on the way over the topic of conversation was her, but I think that was a lie, made to convince her taht Hillary Clinton maybe had not known about it for long. (and also to indicate that what she said about being thankful for ALL she did, had the backing of Bill Clinton)
Sammy Finkelman (643dcd) — 8/16/2016 @ 9:53 amnk, I know that the joke answer is “I do,” but some of us don’t see that as a bad thing.
The Dana very glad that he's been married for 37 years, 2 months and 28 days (f6a568) — 8/16/2016 @ 11:10 amWhen Hillary brought former Secretary of State Madeline Albright to say a few words at one of her campaign stops, Ms. Albright claimed “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.” The women in the audience cheered, and Ms. Albright seemed to have a mysterious smile, perhaps I just imagined that part. Since then, I’ve been wondering if she meant Hillary Clinton, who certainly didn’t help her husbands victims.
A. C. (3f9428) — 8/16/2016 @ 1:35 pm18. Even if they know and understand, I don’t think people like Madeleine ALbright connect the two things. The smile was probably because it was very self-serving and not intended at all to be a principle.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 8/16/2016 @ 2:27 pmOn Sunday, March 22, 1998, the New York Times published Gloria Steinem’s op-ed defending Bill Clinton from allegations of sexual harassment. If you go to nytimes.com, you won’t find it; it’s not there. For whatever reason, it has not been included in NYT’s online archives that go back to the 19th Century. There is to my knowledge only two places you can read it online in its entirety: My blog, and the bulletin board for feminist educrats from which I cut-and-pasted it.
An excerpt:
L.N. Smithee (b84cf6) — 8/16/2016 @ 3:50 pmFeminists are not against sexual assault or worse if the assaulter is a liberal Democrat who atones for his sin with good deeds. The best example, to my mind is Ted Kennedy. He killed a young woman, and went on to be hailed by feminists as the Lyin’ of the Senate, because he sponsored a few bills in their favor and talked a good game. Mary Jo Kopechne, I suppose, was considered collateral damage.
Gary Hoffman (7ec1de) — 8/16/2016 @ 5:39 pmI do think Millenials, who are unacquainted with the Clintons as they slither in the garden, will be revulsed over the last 80 days running upto election.
JayVee is already tired of talking about Trump, “What about the Light Bringer! That’s what creation longs to dwell on”!

She is tetched, demented.
DNF (ffe548) — 8/16/2016 @ 7:22 pmbecause it’s about power, the fellow who was the star witness, against senator stevens was a deeply deviant fellow, who had a thing for one of the bureau agents, but they let him perjure himself ‘for the greater good’
narciso (732bc0) — 8/16/2016 @ 7:34 pmBut they do call rapists rapists: duke lacrosse and uva frats. Oh wait… They were wrong but…no apologies.
