I keep mulling this over. Milano's backtracking will definitely be weaponized against victims.

her shift is very high profile, but very typical. This is what most people do: say be pro-survivor until it hits close to home & change their tune.

I knew the hollywoodization of Metoo would bite us activists in the ass.

A White Feminist vision of antirape work will never solve the problem.

Look at the way white women have used their victimhood to push for more incarceration and policing.
Every time I read about the history of antirape activism, I get overwhelmed by the centuries of betrayal.

White women CONSISTENTLY throw the most raped under the bus. They fight for policies and norms that hurt us and get mad if we're not grateful for it.
An effective movement against rape can't be lead by rich white women. It'll never work. Time has shown us.
