As a woman I feel that the world is absolutely electric with the palpable charge of our Collective Discontent. Latest insult to us: An article about the spate of appalling sexual assaults by Lyft drivers upon women.-

In two of the accounts of rape, taking place over several hours of hideous, almost unimaginable horror, the charges of rape by the women were not prosecuted by local Police Departments because....
THE MEN IN QUESTION SAID THAT THE SEX WAS CONSENSUAL IN BOTH CASES AND THE POLICE DECLINED TO PRESS CHARGES.
Because they said, literally, that the women were asking for it. That the encounters were more 'Penthouse Forum' than waking nightmare. This is literally a defense against a rape accusation that apparently works. Today. Now. In 2019. In America. Because we have acheived NOTHING apparently.
I'm not saying I advocate violence but
One of the ghastly accounts of rape steamy romantic escapades involves a studly Lyft driver entering a blind woman's home under the pretense of helping her with her groceries then taking her into the bedroom and raping making all her fantasies come true.
Local police in Tuscaloosa Alabama chose to accept the Lyft drivers assertion that the sex was consensual and refused to press charges. Hopefully the poor woman doesn't become pregnant from this 'sexy escapade' as she will be forced to have the baby under their State law. If she does, I hope she names it Uber.
If The Handmaid's Tale actually came to pass at least these men would be ritually strangled by robed women for the crime. And now we're officially in a position in which we, as women, would be more protected under the oppressive Old Testament regime of the Republic of Gilead than current Alabama State law.
Seems legit.
