Maybe your campaign staff were triggered by that old essay you wrote back in the day.
But really, You were not suppose to know.
A group of former Bernie Sanders staffers are demanding a meeting with the Vermont senator and his “top political advisers” to discuss rampant “sexual violence” they say took place on the Sanders 2016 presidential campaign…
The ‘request’ was meant to be private but news of the letter leaked late last week.
Leaked…By who?
Also:
“In recent weeks there has been an ongoing conversation on social media, in texts, and in person, about the untenable and dangerous dynamic that developed during our campaign,” the group wrote, adding that while similar issues arise on many campaigns, discrimination and harassment on Sanders’ campaign was particularly problematic given Sanders’ progressive platform and the “intense commitment” offered to his presidential effort from “women, people of color, and LGBT staffers.”
Here in “progressive” Vermont it came as quite a surprise
At home, Vermont political leaders were caught off-guard by the news of the complaint.
“This is the first I’m hearing of it,” said Senate Pro Tempore Tim Ashe on Monday. “I haven’t seen the letter. I didn’t know this was in the news until you just told me.
“My general feeling is that every person, male and female in the workplace, but especially men, and especially men in position of influence, should always conduct themselves with total integrity when it comes to workplace equity. But I say that not in specific reference to this situation because I don’t know anything about it, but just as a general matter,” Ashe added.
Ashe noted that a bill, H.707, passed by the Vermont Legislature in the last session strengthened protections against sexual harassment in the workplace.
House Speaker Mitzi Johnson, D-Grand Isle-Chittenden, said she was also unaware of the Sanders’ campaign worker complaints.
“I don’t know anything about the letter or the allegations,” Johnson said. “I don’t know anything about it.
“I’m working incredibly hard to make sure that we really change the culture of Vermont’s State House, just in terms of preventing harassment and holding harassers accountable, but also in terms of a true balance of equality,”
But Bernie was totally unaware of this because at the time, you see He was a little bit busy.
Well lets see exactly what is “toxic masculinity” ? Now I don’t doubt for a moment that it exist. Just look at all the “liberal” men that were swept up in the #metoo movement.
But lets turn back the clock.
Back in the nineties This is what Author, journalist, adjunct professor of journalism at Columbia University Nina Burleigh had to say
Burleigh offered to perform a sex act on President Clinton. Approached by a Washington Post media reporter to discuss the Mirabella article, Burleigh stated, “I would be happy to give him a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think American women should be lining up with their Presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs.”
Back in the day Democrats like Teddy Kennedy (who received a “tap on the wrist” from the State of Massachusetts for leaving young woman to slowly drown in his car) and Bill (serial rapist) Clinton had only to defend unrestricted abortion rights to be given total absolution from secular humanist feminist.
Which is why dozens and dozens of Democrat, liberal, feminist, male celebrities like Matt Lauer and Harvey Weinstein et.al, simply assumed that sexual favors from “adoring” women was simply there due.
Toxic masculinity indeed.
But now of course Just being a masculine man is considered toxic.
But to the chagrin of the progressive social justice warriors it seems too many women prefer their men that way.
Now, feminists want to dismantle toxic masculinity, but ideology doesn’t always coincide with sexual preference. A feminist may say that she wants men to be less masculine, but still choose tall, dominant, aggressive men as sexual partners. The justification being that sex and politics are unrelated so she is entitled to date whoever she wants to date, even if it conflicts with her political beliefs.
The problem is that as long as women are still rewarding tall, masculine, aggressive men through sex and relationships, men will always want to be masculine. Toxic masculinity is simply the inevitable result of men competing with each other to satisfy women’s sexual preferences.
So as long as women prefer traditionally masculine men as sexual partners, this notion of toxic masculinity will never go away. Men will always seek to be dominant, aggressive, emotionless being if it means maximizing their sexual success.
Perhaps If Bernie decides to run in 2020 he should purge all Toxic “white” males and see that their replaced with SJW certified non-toxic Black, Hispanic (both legal and illegal) and Muslim men. Well Bernie is Jewish in name only so maybe not Muslim men.
That should make all the women working in Bernie’s 2020 campaign happy, or at least this time they will keep there pretty mouths shut. since these men are PC.
