because he refused to submit himself for questioning. He has been on the lamb. period. The statute of limitations are expiring and once again sexual assault victims receive no justice, just as far too many people want, not only in this case but in the other billion cases of women raped across this world. Who are women compared to a great man? Just like black lives pale in comparison to the comfort of the great politician. It is an oppression that too many enforce on a daily basis because they benefit from the systemic inequality that allows rape, gender violence, racial violence, white male privilege and the hierarchy of human worth that places the few over the rest of us.

Of course he couldn't possibly be guilty. He's a great man. Great man are never guilty. Women are always liars. Not only are the men never guilty, they aren't even expected to cooperate with legal arrest warrants because they are intrinsically superior. That is how oppression triumphs, and the privileged will defend it to the end because it enables them to exert power in their own lives, a power far more pervasive and pernicious than wielded by any government.

So let's hear it for more rape victims being denied the right to confront their alleged perpetrator. Another victory for rape culture. and really what could be more important than that?
