There are liberals who have no sympathy for sex abuse, I am witness.

"Oona really appreciates the support you showed her, and she was taken aback that Amy did not show any interest or sympathy." Summer job, late 1980's, Boston Massachusetts, involved driving elderly to day trips and shopping for them. 

 

Oona parked the car that we used for work in the garage. She came to the office and said that a man flashed her, 

 

Oona was upset, and understandably so. I accompanied her to report the incident and showed her sympathy and support. 

 

We were liberal and therefore enlightened. Well I was starting to keep the Jewish Sabbath and kosher and attend an orthodox synagogue, but one thing all people agree upon is how wrong sex abuse is, right? Not so fast. Amy had embarked upon a mission that sexual promiscuity is a vehicle for bringing down a patriarchy that dictates marriage. 

 

She bragged about her bisexual relationships, though I remember in high school that she wanted to marry her boyfriend. Then, in college, she turned to bisexual promiscuity. She also bragged about how much that hurt one of her boyfriends, I thought, why is he with her then? All is fair in love and war, I felt some sympathy for him, but to a limited extent. If sexual relationships are mutually consensual, then although I think these situations are hurtful, I also thought - well that was his choice. She also told me that she sleeps with women, she said this with a look of extreme contempt and scorn on her face, followed by a triumphant flush. I just ignored it, I knew she was trying to provoke. 

But we all agree that a man should not flash a woman right? Again, Judith quipped to me the above, that Amy DID NOT CARE that Oona was flashed. I began to understand that there is a sub-movement among the sexually promiscuous, and that is to desensitize the sacredness or special-ness of sexual activity to the extent that sex abuse matters little. I looked Amy up, She has written a book about gender. 

 

So I know for a fact that at least one of these "gender studies" graduates care absolutely nothing about sex abuse. I am witness.
