Sexual Assault at the Women's March

It was carried out in broad daylight, on video, in front of dozens of police officers -- but since the offender was a woman and the man was wearing a MAGA hat, no arrests or prosecutions are forthcoming. The woman even flatly agreed, on tape, that she was guilty of sexual assault.

Of interest to me, though, is the response the man gives. He points out that this is proof of tremendous privilege enjoyed by women -- that she can commit what she recognizes is a sexual crime, in front of the police, and know with smug confidence that she won't be arrested. When he points this fact out, however, she smiles and nods in a way that suggests not agreement, but mockery of the very idea whose truth she has just demonstrated.

Of course men are the ones with privilege. Everyone knows that. No one knows anything else.

That account was suspended. Curious to know if the account belonged to the man in your story or the woman.

I don't know if it was the man in the story, but it was a man's account. It was active this afternoon. I wonder if this is why they suspended him -- for posting evidence of a crime?

Sounds like there could be an entirely different aspect of this story, now. I imagine we won't be able to find out anytime soon, though.

We may never. But keep your eyes open.
