Sept 9, 2014: BizPac Review: White House talk about ‘real men’ makes some libs nervous
Real liberals don’t like it when you say “real man.” That was the lesson from Think Progress editor Judd Legum, who objected to White House spokesman Josh Earnest’s criticism of the Baltimore Ravens wife-beater Ray Rice “not something a real man does.”

June 23, 2014: The Atlantic: Rage Against the Outrage Machine
Judd Legum wrote at ThinkProgress: Washington Post columnist George Will wrote a column claiming that being a rape victim is now a “coveted status” that college women seek out. Will argued that complaints of rape and sexual assault on college campus were overblown. He also suggested that women claiming to be raped were “delusional.” Here's what Will actually wrote, after a paragraph on trigger warnings and speech codes (my emphasis): "academia, with its adversarial stance toward limited government and cultural common sense, is making itself ludicrous. Academia is learning that its attempts to create victim-free campuses—by making everyone hypersensitive, even delusional, about victimizations—brings increasing supervision by the regulatory state that progressivism celebrates." He does not suggest that women claiming to be raped were delusional—he suggests attempts to create a victim-free campus makes everyone hypersensitive or "delusional" about victimizations. |
