Ju...Thank you so much for highlighting this for me! Just when I think Feminism as a movement is realizing that you can't even think about any of the issues (empowerment, sexual liberation, equality, etc) without considering against what the ideas are pushing, you get a mess like this! <br /><br />I'm going to go into this a bit more deeply on my blog (www.tintedvent.blogspot.com) if you want to see my particular nerdy Black Feminist Deconstructionist Historicist take on this internet pseudo-brawl and tell me what you think?Bookish Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008951387329835667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-82398521161058428772009-05-15T13:18:00.000-04:002009-05-15T13:18:00.000-04:00Mista Jaycee,
No disrespect, but if you're going ...Mista Jaycee,<br /><br />No disrespect, but if you're going to call someone a liar, you should know their correct name. It's Desiree Washington. And I'm not sure who you are calling "most people" because I believe you might find quite a few folks who DO believe Mike Tyson is a rapist. <br /><br />And everything you just related is standard smear tactics against rape victims - how they should be acting, feeling, doing, etc..... All of that is subjective and not evidence of anything.<br /><br />If she got a book deal, where's the book after all these years? And since Johnny Gill was not in the room, what exactly did his "view" have to do with the rape? He could see her vagina through her clothes? And I hate to tell you, lots of rape victims go through normal business hours even days after their assault. <br /><br />Further, she lost a great deal after the trial. Her parents divorced. They lost their home. She quit college. She got a settlement, but it was five years later. <br /><br />Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist, period.Dr. Tracey Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209154351201523646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-33838383416492353982009-05-15T12:37:00.000-04:002009-05-15T12:37:00.000-04:00Hi Prof Tracy! 8-)

Fact! Mike was a weenie, grade A, but fact! She stuck out of her contest at three in the morning, she did not make a report of any kind for three days, she lied on the stand, saying she was not doing it for financial gain, when it was revealed later she had a book deal already in place, Singer Johnny Gill in the next hotel room advised that she did not leave the room in tears or showing any kind of trauma. His testimony was not heard. I believe Mike was a Dick, he hit it and quit it and she feeling used and knowing she was about to suffer even greater embarrasment made up the rape. No, he might have been cruel and a jerk but a rape, nah! She went through with the contest the very next day! <br />Thanks for letting me share.<br />Jayceeachoiceofweaponshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14742415077326783252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-36033976039368243572009-05-15T07:50:00.000-04:002009-05-15T07:50:00.000-04:00In following the various links, I came across Lato...In following the various links, I came across Latoya Peterson's essay "The Not Rape Epidemic".

White-feminists are becoming more vapid and immature by the day. Not to mention a lot of them reek of white-privilege and class-privilege.

Really, it is kind of hard to keep track of these dust-ups....<br /><br />I know that there is one line of thinking that the more voices, the better--and that loud disagreements of multiple viewpoints proves that a movement is "alive" and "vibrant."<br /><br />However, I am getting to the point where I think this kind of on-line "dialog" has become an end unto itself. Does it really encourage people to get out and actually do something that might advance women's causes, rights and lives? Or does it just become a kind of spectator sport?<br /><br />*Sigh* I don't know. But I am getting increasingly tired of this.PPR_Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595767225403599855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-59333894263093913792009-05-14T09:00:00.000-04:002009-05-14T09:00:00.000-04:00These folks, male/female/whatever (SOME for that m...These folks, male/female/whatever (SOME for that matter) are still under the impression that the world is based off of so-called white/western standards of humanity. Although the majority non-white world says otherwise, some of these cats are just evolved versions from those that thought the world was flat and Roman/Greek culture is the basis for (wo)mankind. Nevermind the fact that the non-white version already covered most of that 1,000's of years ago.<br /><br />I do the same in regards to so-called left winger talking points. If I want liberalism/socialism, I look toward the "other" America, south of the border. Granted, its not perfect, but to me that's being left-wing. Don't get me started about feminism and the non-whiteworld...that's a whole 'nother blog!ch555xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087125956106961402noreply@blogger.com
