MISOGYNY

This morning at the gym, one of my friends commented on the IMF frog who got caught with his pants down in New York. Pulled off the plane. "Disgraced" in the perp walk according to some French intellectuals.

My friend, surprisingly, said that "they" should have just let him get on the plane and fly away. That she was probably used to servicing guests.

Jesus H. Christ. And this is a guy who is, otherwise, a liberal.

I, of course, do not want to do the same and jump to conclusions about the haughty bastard himself who was staying in a 3,000 dollar a night suite. Man of privilege. A nice suit.

He is innocent until proven guilty. But the grand jury returned an indictment on him today and he sits with five million dollars bail and a bracelet in one apartment until his trial.

They have already started on the woman. But, evidently, there is ample forensic evidence to support the indictment. It is not just "he said, she said".

The guy has a record of this. Rich and powerful men who can't keep their dicks in their pants.

But people will want to blame the victim.

I have a friend who was recently gang raped, males on male. He has had access to great counseling and the police have been superb. There is a network of positive support now in the official world. Same in New York City. The Times wrote extensively about this in today's "paper".

But still, my friend has been gossiped about, wrong info put out. All biased against him. By other men.

Fortunately for him there have been a number of men who have come up to him and told their own story of having this done to them. One man even came to tell how he had been a perpetrator and had never been able to shake the guilt of it.

So there are good people and good outcomes. But the power game of rich white men continues and society still wants to blame the victim for whatever dereliction that they can make up.

Our ex Governor is also just one of many such examples.

Sad.
