So here's an article from one of my favorite writers. He's not my favorite because I agree with him often, but quite the opposite. Mr. Goad makes me question where I stand on everything under the sun. This article, http://takimag.com/a...t#ixzz2SjCI9liS, discusses, "Meg Lanker-Simons, who I’ll presume hyphenates her surname to prove she’s not beholden to the patriarchy, is a bespectacled female wildebeest who grazes the campus of the University of Wyoming, always on the lookout for sexual harassment but never quite able to find it. On Thursday she will appear in court to face misdemeanor charges that she interfered with a police investigation by fabricating an online male identity who claimed he wanted to “hatefuck” her and thus transform her into a “good Republican bitch.” After this initial—and, according to police, self-generated—post on April 24, Lanker-Simons responded by saying, “I’m left to wonder if there’s someone out there with a violent fantasy about me….” I have known several women, who have been sexually attacked or taken advantage of, and I also have had a former friend who falsely cried rape. It blew my mind, and turned out to be an elaborate scheme to drive off her fiance. When this happened, I did not think anyone would ever lie about a rape. This is a difficult subject, but needs to be more openly discussed, so I brought it to y'all, my brothers and sisters of sweetness and light.
