Column: Feminist Hypocrisy Is a Fact, Not a 'Right-Wing Trap'
By Tim Graham | May 20, 2020 6:37 AM EDT

Feminist author Susan Faludi made a lame attempt in The New York Times to help feminists escape from their hypocrisy on believing all female “survivors” of sexual harassment or assault. Somehow, Faludi claimed, this isn’t true. They never said you should believe all women.

The headline was “‘Believe All Women’ Is a Right-Wing Trap: How feminists got stuck answering for a canard.” She claimed the canard came from me, among others, quoting a recent article of mine on Biden accuser Tara Reade: “Where is the #MeToo movement on this story? What happened to their rigid ‘Believe All Women’ boilerplate?”

She attempted to rebut: “It’s never been feminist ‘boilerplate.’ What we are witnessing is another instance of the right decrying what it imagines the American women’s movement to be.” Wrong. We’re decrying the feminist habit of excusing the Bill Clintons and slut-shaming the accusers of Democrats. They now protect Biden after they attempted to strike a blow for unlimited abortion with unsubstantiated charges thrown at Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh.
