why is naomi wolf always shady and warped about powerful men who commit sexual assaults? previously, she was defending julian assange and saying the sexual assaults were no big deal on democracy now. now  she is tying in Dominique Strauss-Kahn to a crtique about the rise of surveillance and the patriot act. way to not even touch upon how muslim communities and ordinary people are surveilled...she apparenly wants people to feel sorry for people who are public figures who abuse their power. DSK was "outed" bc the woman he assaulted reported it. why should he be be allowed to slink off and have "privacy" for his actions? am  i missing something here? she makes no bloody sense but she's already established, so no matter what she spouts, she'll find someplace to publish it.

This woman gives me the twitches. I cannot possibly begin to think of her as a feminist when everything she's said publicly in the last what, eight months? Has been in the service of reifying rape culture and providing cover for perpetrators of sexual violence.
