Ever wonder why we despise Jezebel and feminist writers? This is why.
Their articles about "rape culture" and their efforts to expand the definition of rape didn't have any direct influence on what these wacko officers want to do.
But they have set up a cultural climate in which it's possible and the government is making it happen.
We now live in an environment very similar to the "satanic panic" of the '80s. Except this time they're not going after "evil" daycare providers or heavy metal bands. They're coming for you and me.
Examples? Last week in the Washington Post, Alyssa Rosenberg wrote about Robin Thicke: "Singing “I gotta treat her right, I gotta cherish her for life,” or any variation thereof, is not proof of self-awareness or artistic insight. It is a massive cliche, and one with sometimes-deadly implications for the women who are urged by violent or emotionally abusive partners that this time it will be different."
Got that? There's a connection between a song and "violent or emotionally abusive partners." Just like there was a connection between devil worship and Judas Priest. This is how you create a moral panic and this is why law enforcement now seek to perform "Brave New World"-like medical procedures on teenage boys not yet convicted of a crime.
In the '70s people would streak and crowds would laugh. Now a dick pic is a felony. This is a major, major cultural shift and not a good one.
Buzzfeed has released the teenage boy's name, so I'll link to them and place it here, so it can be forever associated with Alyssa Rosenberg of the Washington Post.
His name is Trey Simms and decades from now, when this is all a nostalgic laugh, I'd like future generations to know it was Alyssa Rosenberg and writers like her who helped create a climate of anti-male sexual hysteria that made his life hell and caused law enforcement's overreach.
And to those who say "You're wrong! We're more sexually free than ever! There are sex-positive feminists!!" please be clear: this is the demonizing of *male* sexuality. The girl wasn't charged.
Once again, I'll repeat:
"The goal of feminism is to remove all constraints on female sexuality while maximally restricting male sexuality." -- Roissy
