His concern for the potential thwarting of young men’s ambitions is duly noted.
I do not recall a time in which George Will was so concerned with women’s take on rape.
I don’t want to ready anything else GW says about sex-- felonious or otherwise.
George Will: “When remarks become sexual assault, improper touching – bad, shouldn’t be done, but it’s not sexual assault.”
No, George, improper touching is not sexual assault in any courtroom in the USA. Improper touching? Are you serious?
George: do you have some “improper touching” that went on in your past days at whatever Ivy League college your parents paid to send you to? Did you fondle a young woman, (or man) half drunk and you are afraid of the justice system convicting you of “sexual assault” for wrestling your college roommate one night when drunk ? C’mon George, fess up!
Rest easy, George, if you fondled a young woman or man after one too many beers or glasses of wine, you’re in no danger of being convicted of anything. Setting aside the statutes of limitations that applied up until the child-sex-abuse scandals revealed in and after the 90’s for the Catholic church, no one in his 70’s or 80’s can go on trial for wrestling their college buddies back in the 1950’s.
When George conflates “improper touching” with criminal sexual assault, and makes protests over sexual assault reporting, charges and convictions, a guilty conscience? I think perhaps the lady doth protest too much.
… young men and young women in this sea of hormones and alcohol, that gets into so much trouble on campuses
sounds like George let his mind wander off into some fantasies for a moment …
For the love of God, George, STFU!!!
Stop wordraping us! [/Brietbartian-MalkiniteRageMachine]
“What’s going to result is a lot of young men and young women in this sea of hormones and alcohol, that gets into so much trouble on campuses, you’re going to have charges of sexual assault,” he said. “And you’re going to have young men disciplined, their lives often permanently and seriously blighted by this – don’t get into medical school, don’t get to law school, all the rest.”
Aw, gee. Maybe the young men in question should have been more careful about when, where and with whom they got drunk?
Isn’t that the standard compassionate conservative admonition to young women on the other side of this situation and who face far worse consequences?
Shovel meet George Will.
Gosh that would be terrible. Like most red-blooded American women, I’m all for rapists becoming gynecologists. George, you are an idiot.
Seriously, I wish he’d shut the hell up. Claiming to be more outraged about rape than the Dem Senators who called him out for his archaic beliefs is at best disingenuous. He uses words like a paintbrush, covering the previous coat of bullshit with a fresh coat of bullshit.
January 1987 issue of Washingtonian magazine that described Will’s “off again, on again” relationship with his then-wife, Madeleine. At the time, there was considerable gossip in media circles about the matter. A subsequent issue of Washingtonian reported that a pile of Will’s belongings appeared one day in front of his Chevy Chase, Md., home with a sign on top that read, “Take it somewhere else, buster.”
Wonder what degree of kinky behavior, casual to serious, he’s up to these days?
George, you’re giving us old white guys a bad name…reinforcing the stereotype…out of touch, uninformed, but just blabber away anyway.
Why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why are you still talking???
George’s know-it-all arrogance once again shines through. This time he out did himself. Just go stand in a corner!
Dear George,
We are very sorry that you were never invited to any parties in college and we’re even more sorry that you never got laid. However, at this point, we need you to shut the hell up. You’re not helping.
Sincerely,
Men Who Know How to Relate to Women
He is embarrassing himself.
George Will is attempting to out-Santorum Santorum here.
It’s a losing game, but watching ole Georgie go down in ignominious flames is giving me a great big helping of schadenfreude.
Shorter Will: “Dudes like me used to bang drunk chicks in the frat house back in the day, why was that so bad?”
