…and the victim-blaming rape culture continues…

More reasons to dislike Don Lemon.  Good God, did he really say that??  The victim should have fought back — not that Cosby should not have been shoving his member into her?!

So…by Don Lemon’s (and multiple other males and females) assertion, she “wanted it” because she was allegedly raped twice by Bill Cosby? (The only reason I say allegedly is for legal reasons….because I believe her.).

She talks about being unable to truly give consent– being stoned.

She talks about being afraid–he was in a position of power and she was young and vulnerable and felt she would not be believed if she did speak out.

If Don Lemon (and the rest) don’t believe her now….why would they have believe her then?  Her fears are well-founded.  Women as second-class, women as objects to use for sex,  women as not having a say in what happens to them….is our culture.
