Violence Against Women Will End When You Sluts Get Married, Says WaPo

The Washington Post has just published an op-ed entitled "One way to end violence against women? Stop taking lovers and get married" (the paper later changed the headline). To that, I say: Washington Post: Stop Posting Bullshit And Set Yourself On Fire.

Less than 48 hours after posting an atrocious column by George Will, wherein the venerable conservative thought leader who has made a career out of being smugly wrong about everything called being a rape victim a "coveted status" and then dismissed the college sexual assault crisis as just another made up thing in Obama's America (TM), the Washington Post has outdone itself with a column by conservative think tank denizens W. Bradford Wilcox, (the director of the National Marriage Project) and Robin Fretwell Wilson (who endlessly beat the BUT RELIGIOUS LIBERTY!!! drum after New York legalized gay marriage in 2011) that claims — seriously, as far as I can gather — that the best way for women to avoid violence is to stop slutting around with "baby daddies" and get married. It's truly breathtaking in its idiocy. I'm sorry for subjecting all of you to this, but, here we go.

This social media outpouring makes it clear that some men pose a real threat to the physical and psychic welfare of women and girls. But obscured in the public conversation about the violence against women is the fact that some other men are more likely to protect women, directly and indirectly, from the threat of male violence: married biological fathers.

If you were playing a NOT ALL MEN drinking game with this column, your first shot comes in the second paragraph, and by the end, you'd be dead of alcohol poisoning and despair.

1. Hmmm

I can't help thinking about all the victims of violence within marriages. Marrying someone doesn't make him less violent. It just makes it potentially harder to escape the violence.

2. The WaPo's on a roll, aren't they?

First George Will tells the ladies how rape is the hot new accessory, and now this.

They need to clean house over there.
