(33,224 posts)Don't tell me you are, because that's denial and "Bill" knows better.
(This presupposes that you qualify for the subdomain of "good whites", a categorization that Bill and his unofficial spokespeople reserve the right to change without notice.)
If she had talked about what she thought, experienced and felt, and asked the community for help bringing criminals to justice, I'm all ears.
But she's not. Like other "rape culture" rhetoric, she's interested in spreading the blame for criminal behavior as widely as possible;
a) because collective blame feels powerful
b) because of the mistaken belief that bad people act only under the perceived direction of good people
She's irrelevant. While she and people like her are rending their garments and gnashing their teeth, the rest of us have diligently created a society in which rape is 85% less common than it was in 1980.
