In reply to the discussion: Dear Democrats (and everyone else) calling on Sen. Franken to resign: [View all]Jarqui
(10,150 posts)38. I did not say "near zero" you're making that up
But ask your math professor if zero or "near zero" are the same thing. I think he'll agree with me that they are not.
I am casting doubt on Franken's accusers because they may be behaving the way someone in the GOP wants them to behave.
As for this:
As to your first point - the primary dynamic, even (or perhaps especially) when the victim is male is that the victim is being treated as a woman - being put in '"her" place (even when she is a he). The vast majority of male rape survivors at some point express concern that they were targeted because they were gay/effeminate/not enough of a man. All of that has roots in misogyny, regardless of the gender of either victim or abuser.
In the article I linked above:
"For example, of juveniles reporting staff sexual misconduct, 89 percent were boys reporting abuse by a female staff member."
So are all of those cases of females with penis envy? I sincerely doubt it. And these are just boys as victims - they have not fully identified with being men yet.
or google images for "female teachers sexual assault"

How does your theory on misogyny ("when the victim is male is that the victim is being treated as a woman - being put in '"her" place (even when she is a he)"

OP
Every Dem Senator calling for Franken to resign, better be prepared to resign as well

TRUE, Tygrbright! What's this, "Oh, we don't want to impeach Trump" but "Franken needs to resign"???
