victims of sexual harassment “become very promiscuous” and that young people who are called names such as “whore” or “slut” think: “That’s what I want to be.”
Sounds like she missed her true calling.
Being a know it all and such.
Just another fraud trying to do as much damage to sexual assault survivors as possible. What a true scumbag.
And a mascot minority to boot… what a pathetic sellout asshole.
Gooooooooooood Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd Alllllllllllllllllllllllllmighty, pleeeeeeease deeeeeeeeliver us!
It’s easy to prove her theory… just leave her in a locked room with Kavanaugh and a case of beer. Document her later behavior.
It’s not even slut-shaming, it’s slut-future-shaming. Like Calvinist predestination or something.
I assert that you don’t have to be a nutter to be African American and Republican today, but please don’t ask me for supporting evidence.
Described by many as a “whore” and a “slut,” Erika Harold became “very promiscuous” as a result, according to Miss America pageant owner Toadglans von McMario-Kart.
Promiscuous – demonstrating or implying an undiscriminating or unselective approach; indiscriminate or casual."
Erika Harold is nothing if not promiscuous.
“Many victims of sexual harassment believe what is said about them, and they become very promiscuous. When they’re called a whore, when they’re called a slut, they think, ‘That’s what I want to be,’ and so they engage in a pattern of self-destruction that can be very detrimental to their lives.”
OK, Kanye, while it’s true that victims of sexual assault often become promiscuous afterwards, it’s not because they want to be sluts and whores. It’s usually because they either want to take back their bodies, take back what was taken from them, or because they feel utterly worthless, like used up goods.
If everyone practiced abstinence, there would be no rape. QED. Genius. Nobody thought it could be done.
Now make me a Senator or something.
“CHICAGO (AP) — A former Miss America who is running for Illinois attorney general…”
This is the point at which the article stopped making sense.
Harold’s campaign stood by the remarks in a statement Wednesday and said she didn’t intend to blame victims.
“Erika was clearly referring to the labels bullies and harassers use on their victims and how it may negatively impact victims’ lives. She understands firsthand what victims of sexual harassment are going through because she’s lived it herself,” spokesman Aaron DeGroot said. “The fact is studies show that sexual harassment can cause anxiety, depression, negative body image and low self-esteem in some victims. That’s why Erika has made it her life’s mission to empower young people, combat bullying and prevent sexual harassment.”
Victims of sexual harassment becoming very promiscuous is a lie. End of story. Her spokesman really contorted a whole bunch of ideas such as bullying, sexual harassment, slut shaming and abstinence. None of which really makes sense when you unpack it all.
Most – if not all – women in the workforce have experienced sexual harassment at one time. I know I have. Is she trying to claim that 100% percent of women in the workforce are sexually promiscuous? That sounds a lot like RWNJ talking points to keep women out of the workforce.
If she’s talking about victims of sexual assault or battery or rape, she’s victim blaming or shaming.
I’m sure this sounded a lot better in her head when she first heard it. Yet another conservative showing how thin the line between stupid and clever is. There’s a reason Hannity and Limbaugh get paid the big bucks.
Nope. Very typical conservatard/freakazoid result of a lifetime of pageanting.
Agree with everything you’ve said here.
Religeous wingnuttery is not prejudiced . They’ll take just about anyone as long as they toe the party line
