With Which “Her” Are They?
On January 21, 2017, feminists sought political support for gender equality and to eradicate oppression against women. Some of them raised signs depicting women with the slogan “I’m with her.” On March 16, 2017, a 14-year-old female student was allegedly raped at Rockville High School by two male students, at least one of whom was illegally in this country. Their enrollment at Rockville should never have happened. Interestingly, none of those Million Women marchers denounced that heinous act. An innocent girl was violated, but no one is supporting her case. Yet, these supposed advocates of rights for women lose credibility by not acting upon their platform. For politicians to take their causes, they must act consistently with their principles. In fact, the only ones being publically defended are her accused rapists.

In the victimized group pecking order, rape victims just aren't as high as they used to be - in this case, it's obvious they aren't as high as illegal immigrants. To show her sympathy, or to criticize the accused and/or the situation that set it all up - is bigotry.

Uh what?
You're just going to take at face value the absurd claim "none of those Million Women marchers denounced that heinous act"?

I'm sure Mr. Debunkgpolitics scoured Facebook diligently to make sure his claim was true. :P

I'm not taking that claim at face value - but denouncing acts has never meant much to me anyway. Will this get the same attention and concern as two students whose immigration status isn't under question raping a girl? My guess is no - but we don't have to wonder, all we have to do it wait.

You mean none that you've heard of. And something tells me, even if you had heard of any, you wouldn't have mentioned it.

"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
