If You Want To Disavow Trump Supporters For “Supporting” His Treatment Of Women And Support Hillary Clinton, Don’t Tell Me You Are A Feminist Who Cares About Rape Victims

Scott Adams is the man. I can’t recall ever seeing a single Dilbert comic strip, but his views on American politics is a breath of fresh air at a time when hypocrisy and deflection is running wild during the election season. While liberals are lambasting Trump for his comments about women, and accusations of sexual assault, Adams perfectly trolled Clinton supporters who questioned his endorsement of Trump, by switching his support over to Gary Johnson.

In a blog post announcing his allegiance to Johnson, Adams wrote,

“My view is that if either Clinton or Trump can be judged by the weight of the allegations against them, both are 100% unfit for the office. I think Trump supporters think it’s worth the hit to our national brand just to get some specific improvements in the country.

Clinton supporters have been telling me for a few days that any visible support for Trump makes you a supporter of sex abuse. From a persuasion standpoint, that actually makes sense. If people see it that way, that’s the reality you have to deal with. I choose to not be part of that reality so I moved my endorsement to Gary Johnson.

I encourage all Clinton supporters to do the same, and for the same reason. I don’t know if any of the allegations against the Clinton’s are true, but since we are judging each other on associations, you don’t want to be seen as supporting sex abuse by putting an alleged duo of abusers (the perp and the clean-up crew) into office. I think you will agree that it doesn’t matter if any of the allegations are true, because the stink from a mountain of allegations — many that seem credible to observers — is bad for the national brand too. To even consider putting the Clinton’s back in the White House is an insult to women and every survivor of abuse.”

When Adams typed those words, Clinton supporters immediately went to their local pharmacy to pick up a bottle of Polysporin. The moral superiority practiced by many Clinton supporters is purely hypocritical, and shows an absolute distaste for justice, by holding partisanship, and bias to a deeper importance than moral consistency.

We now live in a world where every rape accusation is deemed true, and any supposed, or proven case of injustice is met with outrage. Feminists throughout America were disgusted when Brock Turner was released from jail three months after being convicted of sexual assault, and jumped on the rapist bandwagon in false cases of rape when it came to the cases of the U.V.A allegation and the Duke lacrosse. The allegations against Trump are serious. The idea that he could have raped a minor is horrid, and the argument he has sexually harassed or demeaned women is abhorrent; but if it is justified to cast Trump as a sexist and a rapist based on the allegations, Bill and Hillary shouldn’t get a free pass.

The question as to whether Hillary Clinton laughed at then 12-year-old rape victim Kathy Shelton has obviously been disputed by liberal media outlets who rightfully claim the audio tape that documents an interview Clinton did with journalist Roy Reed shows she laughed after saying the fact her client passed a polygraph test, “destroyed (her) faith in polygraphs.” She essentially argued she believed her client was at least dishonest, or at worst guilty. Furthermore; when you put the infamous case, against other rape cases that anger feminists, Clinton should get the same type of hate that is directed at all defense lawyers in rape cases who do their jobs. Although the prosecutor claimed Clinton expressed her disdain for taking the case, and Clinton herself noted her hesitance in taking the case by writing in her memoir, “ “I really didn’t feel comfortable taking on such a client, but (Prosecutor) Mahlon (Gibson) gently reminded me that I couldn’t very well refuse the judge’s request,” she still worked to get her client off by suggesting Shelton’s account was unreliable and hired a forensic expert that showed a DNA sample from bloody underwear was too small to accurately identify the perpetrator.

More than 40 years after Clinton helped an accused rapist get a lighter sentence under a different charge, Marie Henein has not be granted the same defense granted to Clinton for doing exactly what Clinton did for Jian Ghomeshi. It was claimed Henein betrayed women, for her work in the case, and was unethical. She was also called a sociopath and was accused of representing a “system,” that is “ inherently and unconsciously stacked against women.”

The contrasting responses to the perceive idea that two men got away with rape, screams of bias. Hillary Clinton can become the first female president in the history of America, and the refusal to condemn Clinton for working to free a man who was accused of rape.

When the audio of Donald Trump’s 2005 conversation with Billy Bush was released, it inspired women to share their stories of sexual assault, and was used as a reason to detail the number of women who have accused Trump of sexual assault. He has not only been deemed sexist thanks to remarks aimed at Rosie O’Donnell and Alicia Machado, he was attacked for admitting to walking through locker rooms at the Miss America pageant to look at nude contestants, and has been called a rapist not only for being accused of raping a teenager, but also he his now ex-wife Ivana; which progressive media has used to argue Trump is a violator of women.

When you type “Donald Trump Sexual Assault,” on the search bar on The Huffington Post you will find more than twenty stories related to Trump’s accused sexual assaults, and mistreatment of women. When you change the search to “Bill Clinton Sexual Assault,” you will see only a handful of stories that address the allegations of Bill’s sexual assaults, that includes stories that mentions just three of the multiple women who have accused Clinton of sexual assault, while ignoring those allegations to bring up Trump’s rumored assaults, and a story that argued although the multiple cases of sexual assault, the accusations towards Bill don’t hold any importance to the 2016 election. Which is simply not true.

Bill Clinton will be in the Whitehouse and first husband. He is also a highly influential and respected former president who will be involved in his wife’s presidency. He will have a staff that includes women, and will be in the presence of other women in his travels around the country. If Bill Cosby is a threat to women after numerous allegations of sexual assault, Bill Clinton should also be deemed a threat, considering the amount of women who have claimed to have had a consensual affair with him, or have been sexually assaulted.

Hillary Clinton believes rape accusers should be believed. If that’s the case, every single one of her husband’s accusers have been raped, and her rapist husband is holding power, influence, and has a freedom he doesn’t deserve. Anyone who claims all rape accusers should be believed, like Zerlina Maxwell claimed after the U.V.A case was shown to be untrue, shouldn’t be campaigning with Clinton, like Maxwell is. If slut shaming is proof of rape culture, a lot of Clinton supporters have to apologize to Monica Lewinsky, and people like Amanda Marcotte shouldn’t dismiss arguments castigating Bill Clinton a rapist as, “straw man.”

In a piece for Salon Marcotte erroneously claimed bringing up Clinton’s accusations, “- can still be used to silence and discredit women who are making substantive allegations of abuse on the grounds that if Clinton’s accusers aren’t believed, no one should be.” Marcotte is a woman who derided Rudy Guiliani for claiming Bill violated Lewinsky. The former Clinton intern was deemed a whore by America, and struggled to find work a decade after the affair, while Clinton didn’t get any blowback from the affair as he became a best selling author, and the leader of a foundation smeared with controversy. Clinton’s infidelity left him unscathed, while the woman at the other end had her life nearly destroyed. Marcotte has also interviewed a woman whose experience in reporting a sexual assault at Tufts University made her feel as though her school, “ didn’t do anything in terms of holding my assailant accountable.”

Wagatwe Wanjuki’s accused rapist was allowed to graduate from university, and has not been held accountable for the crime; just like the many women who have claimed to have been sexually assaulted. The inconsistency of the argument, and the downplaying of the rape accusations against former President Clinton shows third wave feminists and liberals are not making an ethical case against sexual assault, they are making a political one. When a person aligned with them politically is accused of one or several rapes, that person plays with different rules than others from a different ideology.

A strong case can be made that conservatives are being disingenuous when they attack Clinton, when you look at the comments they’ve made and their legislative history, but that does not mean there is nothing to stand on when one discusses the history of Bill Clinton. By downplaying the accusations against him, you are silencing his accusers the same way you are accusing others who don’t believe a certain sexual assault happened. You are not a feminist; you are a biased and partisan trend follower who fakes outrage when it is politically warranted.

If you put Donald Trump on blast for his activities towards women, and don’t do the same for Clinton, you aren’t supporting rape victims as you claim. When outrage is spared for one accused rapist, while another accused rapist is targeted, your narrative is exposed as fabricated. And if you believe voters who align themselves with certain candidates agree with and support every single personal characteristic, and political view, you have to admit to supporting a woman who helped a rapist get away with a heinous crime, when you argue all accusations are true, even when a court deemed a rape likely didn’t occur.
