The Left never knows when to admit defeat. After Trump’s sweeping victory in 2016, they dismissed it as white America’s last rage before the dying of the light. With the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, they are now deluding themselves into believing it was all just the patriarchy’s last hurrah before the matriarchy swoops in to finish it off.
Over at HuffPo, columnist Emily Peck proclaims that the Kavanaugh victory is little more than the «patriarchy’s last stand,» a graceless bowing out in the face of #MeToo.
«Thanks to the Me Too movement, most corners of the culture are starting to listen to women when they come forward about sexual harassment and assault,» declares Peck. «With [Kavanaugh’s] elevation to the Supreme Court, over the objection of so many women and sexual assault survivors, Republicans demonstrated their hard-line commitment to male supremacy.»
That male supremacy, Peck claims, was aided by the likes of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), who helped «make the show of male supremacy go down easy.»
Much of Peck’s rage stems from the fact she (like every feminist in the #MeToo witch hunt) accepts the accusations against Kavanaugh at face value. Not only does she believe Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony that the SCOTUS Justice sexually assaulted her 36 years ago, Peck asserts that Kavanaugh was «credibly accused of sexual misconduct by three women.» The third woman was none other than Julie Swetnick, who accused Kavanaugh of serial gang rape before walking back many of her allegations in an interview with NBC.
To quote Kavanaugh: «The Swetnick thing is a joke. It’s a farce.» And yet here’s HuffPo touting an allegation that had not a shred of proof, even though something like serial gang rapes would have mountains of it.
