I'm really NOT ok with this. I don't know why it should be so hard to understand that it is possible to be enchanted by a man, especially an articulate good looking one, have one thing lead to another, try to put the brakes on, have that not respected (at any point), and feel violated as a result. Did this happen with Assange? I don't know and neither does anyone else outside of the people involved. But calling the women involved "groupies," "feminists run amok," and poring over deleted Tweets and then using them to pronounce judgment seems sick to me. This article by Göran Rudling is the most disgusting piece I've seen so far and I'm unhappy to have found it on Marxmail. I thank Les and S. Artesian for objecting, since I was unable to respond earlier. Here's a somewhat related post I wrote a couple of days ago, if anyone is interested. I've tried not to post links to my own things lately as Louis prefers discussion to reposts, and that seems reasonable, but time really is an issue for me. http://machetera.wordpress.com/2010/12/08/on-anna-ardin-israel-shamir-and-glass-houses/ David Thorstad wrote: > (3) the > accusations made by her and her cohort against Assange point to a > vindictive kind of feminism run amok. i don't have time right now to get into it, but are the rest of you here ok with this idiocy? or the Counterpunch article posted yesterday that spoke of "castrating feminists" when discussing the women accusers of Assange???
