IT appears that the right wing media is working full throttle to discredit "Mary Doe" as a liar in the Duke Lacrosse Rape case. If you disagree with that, then you're not a true liberal. Just as we progressives righteously and consistently protested serial rapists like Clarence Thomas and Bob Packwood, we must prosecute these white racist Lacrosse rapists to the fullest extent of the law. Look at this HIT PIECE by the conservative media:
http://www.cbsnews.com/...
(CBS) The forensic expert hired by the prosecutor in the Duke rape case says he made a "big error" in judgment by not stating in his report that the only DNA he found on the accuser was from several men who were not on the Duke lacrosse team.
Racism is evil.
Sexual harassment is evil.
Rape is evil.
Even if sex appears to be consensual (or even if it's a sexual joke), in the case where there's a huge power imbalance between the overbearing male (example: Clarence Thomas and the Duke Lacrosse Players) and the victimized female ("Mary Doe" and Anita Hill) it is RAPE AGAINST THE WOMAN!!
Notice how it is always the right-wing, bigoted racists who always run to the defense of MEN who are accused of SEXUAL HARASSMENT by women??? Democratic and progressive men are never accused of such malfeasance, that's because they are PRO-CHOICE and PRO-WOMEN and believe in true equality.
That is why, we need to strengthen sexual harassment laws so that if a man even looks at a woman in any way that can be interpreted as a leering manner, he should be first verbally reprimanded, then a written repriment and then fired and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Rapists, date rapists and sexual harassers are not very well-liked in prison either, they will get their comeuppance.
We've come a long way, baby.
