Unlike the Republicans, the Democrats swing together. Eighteen years ago, Senate Dems stood lockstep in support of keeping Bill Clinton in office. Yesterday they stood lockstep in support of forcing Al Franken from office - even though Franken's sins (unwanted tongues and touching) are of a considerably lower order than Clinton's (assault and rape). A shift is underway in the Democrat Party, even if - as Caitlin Flanagan notes in The Atlantic - it's not quite there yet:
Let's not fool ourselves. "I believe Juanita" doesn't just mean that you're generally in favor of believing women when they report sex crimes. It means you believe that for eight years our country was in the hands of a violent rapist.
It was - which was why some of us said we believed Juanita at the time.
Democrats are heavily invested in identity politics. Unfortunately, almost by definition, most of the available identities are minorities (blacks, gays) and some of them are barely statistically detectable (trans). The obvious exception is women. In 2016, a majority of white women voted for Donald Trump. In that sense, Hillary not only failed to shatter the soi-disant glass ceiling, but, remarkably, managed to lower it. That's what sticking with the Clintons did for the Dems.

The Clintons are characters ripped straight from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”
Gloria Steinem was arguing in The New York Times that dropping your pants and inviting a woman to “kiss it” was “not harassment” but an example of “the commonsense guideline to sexual behavior that came out of the women’s movement” - and only uptight GOP squares felt otherwise.
I forgot all about the “One Free Grope”.LOL
There’s just no one who can turn a phrase like Steyn.
Excellent essay.
And at the very end of the column Steyn wraps it up in a lovely bow.
It’s all about abortion.
You know, I really don’t understand the feminist obsession with abortions. Birth control has evolved to the point where you can get your tubes tied and never, ever have to worry about getting preggers. Why obsess over abortion?
Someone sent me a handy chart that lets you know when it’s okay to remove your pants. I’m not sure it’s safe to post.
“There’s just no one who can turn a phrase like Steyn.”
I think when Rush retires, Steyn will be his replacement. He’s my favorite substitute-Rush by a long shot.
Bazongas!! ROTFLMAO!!!
“”Read the whole thing it’s a hoot!””
He never disappoints...
In a twisted way for Dems, their obsession with abortion seems to be about their concept of freedom.
It got a fair amount of daily traffic until some libtard @ Tripod -- remember them? -- announced that they were "extirpating" the site.
Anyway, prior to that event visitor tracking indicated visits to the site from none other than the Executive Office of the President.
A mighty, mighty wit!
Love Steyn.
Here we have a photo of just such a situation ...
"Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto, you're beautiful!"
