TYT: Traci Lords' Steubenville - A Culture of Rape?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"When a rape case in Steubenville, Ohio, became national news, it affected women (and men) all over the world. The image of a seemingly unconscious girl being dragged from one room to the next, the reports of her being sexually assaulted at not one but three different parties, the vulgar tweets from disrespectful teenagers, the 12 minute-long video from a now repentant and now former Ohio State University student named Michael Nodianos—it turned people's stomachs."*

Why did the people of Steubenville, Ohio seem so uncaring about a teenage girl who was raped and humiliated by the high school football team? Traci Lords, a former resident famous for appearing in porn at age 15 is coming forward with a startling explanation. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

2. I read the story

On the Daily Beast . . .

What a sweetheart she is. And I'm so glad she spoke up. She didn't have to do that - but she did.

3. Every porn she did except her last one was a statutory rape video

She lied about her age for her whole porn career........then she turned 18, produced and made one movie, then burned the industry by coming out that she was underage.........why isn't she on Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice??

4. why is cenk surprised? because he really does not listen to women, on womens issues and

sees it only from his perspective and that is the only way to view women. you know, his jack off material. not surprise he is surprised. yea him, that MAYBE he is growing up.

cant forget the moment he says....

girls mature faster.

he would say his son should not have sex until 16

he would say his daughter should not have sex until 18.

why?

girls mature faster. why should they be two years older?

pretty obvious.

no no, take down the naked man, we have had enough. put that naked girl up again, after we have been all over her, objectifying her for ten minutes. need another 5 minutes.

yes cenk... is it sinking in yet?

5. He's somewhat accessible to the public.

I wonder if you asked him that question in that way, if he would reconsider the statement.

7. Some years ago, I went to check Cenk out online and saw how many TandA bits he had on his show.

The woman working with him reporting on ...I don't remember, but I do remember how she was dressed. More appropriate for a night club.

Totally turned me off and I've never watched him. That shit is uncool--totally disrespectful of women.

I mentioned how offended I was on DU2 (I was FizzFuzz then) and got harangued.

8. i enjoy the show, but this sexist shit. ana will say,... women, dont be bothered with your man

using porn, yet on the other hand have a face off with the punk ass jerks that email punk ass misogynist posts to her treating her like their porn.

again, i think ana is a real smart woman, but there is stupid in these issues, i think. want to be sexist, but, suppose to have respect for women.

the whole reason for challenging sexism is because it creates an atmosphere of disrespect. but, go figure. they be cool while they do their sexist act. you know. men. showing us what manly men they are. they can actually denegrate a woman on camera, wow. it is so fuckin stupid. ya right... like he is all that.
