(889 posts)This is right from the article. A direct quote:
His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has," Streisand told The Times. You can say molested,' but those children, as you heard say [grown-up Robson and Safechuck], they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didnt kill them.
How anyone could begin to defend Streisand on this is beyond me.
A rape victim is often "thrilled" to be with his/her eventual attacker. Maybe they are at a party together, or on a date. Then the rape starts. And then the thrill is gone.
"...it didnt kill them. That is a horrible and miserable thing to say, especially since Streisand says that she absolutely believes the allegations. Let that sink in. Streisand believes the abuse happened. But it's no big deal.
So why are Streisand and Jackson being defended here at DU? It's hero worship, plain and simple.
