If Bill Maher had said what he said about Tara Reade about anyone else, every single progressive, feminist, and/ or survivor organization would have released a statement and organized a campaign demanding an apology or the cancelation of his show.
I& #39;m not even remotely surprised that Maher said what he said. It& #39;s totally on brand for him. He doesn& #39;t support the #MeToo 
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> movement. The silence from these orgs is deafening. I& #39;m not taking a position either way on what the response should be to Maher. What I& #39;m saying is...
that the double standard is undeniable. It& #39;s so incredibly gross and transparent. And I honestly don& #39;t care what your position on Reade is. This is just rank hypocrisy. Again, I& #39;m not even surprised about Maher. I guess I shouldn& #39;t even be surprised about any of this. The...
organizations and individuals who should be talking about this have already shown their true colors.
I& #39;m not saying his show should be canceled. I& #39;m saying that organizations that are silent on this would make that demand or at the very least demand an apology.
What& #39;s so funny and frustrating is that the idiots in my replies making this about Tara& #39;s credibility are missing the point. Even people who don& #39;t believe Reade or believe her and think Biden is much better than Trump would be offended by Maher& #39;s analysis. I actually prefer...
his honesty. He& #39;s making an argument which people may find distasteful and problematic. You can disagree or reject it but there& #39;s a coherence and logic to it because he doesn& #39;t accept a lot of the Me Too framing. His point is that an individual& #39;s "victimhood" shouldn& #39;t trump...
the collective good. That& #39;s the argument that MeToo people, regardless of their thoughts on Reade per se, would be upset about.
They would of course say this wasn& #39;t helping the greater or collective good.
