...look NOTHING, and I mean ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING, remotely alike?
I know that my adherence to actual FACTS and the ability to distinguish between two women who look NOTHING ALIKE, doesn't serve the 'correct' narrative, but I feel quite angry about this.
And my peace of mind matters FAR MORE than ANYONE'S shitty political narrative, whether they're left-wing, right-wing or centrist.
Anyone going to 'prove' otherwise to me? π ππΏ
Well, firstly, it's a myth to say that rape/sexual assault has anything to do with sexual attraction. When Trump said "She isn't my type," every single feminist in the world should have jumped on top of that statement to argue that it didn't matter whether E. Jean Carroll was, or wasn't, Trump's type. If this, rather than whether or not she was raped, is what bothers Carroll the most, then my sympathies for her civil case against Trump are somewhat lessened. I sympathise with her because she was ASSAULTED, and *not* because her ego was bruised. I have long championed this woman, but if she is suggesting that only attractive women are raped, she's severely dented my sympathy/respect for her, no matter what she may have suffered.
And secondly, and, yes, more selfishly, the erroneous comparison between her and Marla Maples bothers me. They look nothing alike, and it bothers me to think that Trump would have attacked someone like Maples (he didn't).
The TRUTH is that MISOGYNIST men attack homely and unattractive women, and we all need to get away from this MYTH than MISOGYNIST men attack beautiful women. Men put beautiful women on a pedestal and look at them as saints, but they DESPISE and MISTREAT 'homely' women, who they perceive as fair game for their abuse.
Carroll is WRONG to try to attempt as a 'beautiful woman', when she should be showing greater solidarity with homelier women, LIKE Juanita Broaddrick and Paula Jones (anyone remember, or care, about them?!? π )
FUCK vanity and hubris. And FUCK the MISOGYNIST men who attack 'plain' and 'homely' women. And FUCK the arrogant and unsympathetic princesses who don't sympathise and understand the HARDSHIP that non-white, non-privileged, non-upper/middle-class, non-blonde, non-young and non-beautiful women have to ENDURE every single fucking day.
