In an unsurprisingly disgusting move, Raw Story reports that Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow argued Tuesday in an interview that women have changed the definition of “rape” to mean “any sex that the woman ends up regretting.”
Marlow made the comment during an interview on Sirius XM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily.
Marlow has been with Breitbart since 2008, and has gotten comfortable in the news outlet’s way of making inflammatory comments as easily as breathing. In recent times, the comments are coming even faster.
Monday, on the same radio show, he discussed whether or not Leigh Corfman, who is accusing Roy Moore of sexually assaulting her when she was only 14, is lying about how old she was at the time of the alleged assault and that she may have been older.
Now he’s saying that rape has lost all meaning as an accusation because women use it in a “false” manner too often. If only this kind of victim-blaming wasn’t something we see way too often from people who don’t have the first clue about these things or basic sensitivity.
“We don’t know what’s credible and what’s not,” he complained, “and now everyone is going to come forward.”
If every woman who is a victim of sexual harassment or assault finds the courage in this changing climate to come forward, face her accuser and tell him “no more” for the sake of her own peace, then so much the better.
