A Concerned Mother Responds to the Controversial Favreau Photograph

The acts captured in this photograph are misogynistic, and the man who aggressively gropes Hillary Clinton’s breast, Jon Favreau, is responsible for writing the words that helped install a President who deployed sexism throughout the primary. I am not sure why the misogyny in the photograph is not viewed as such. Is it a result of our willingness to allow little boys, especially little white boys of privilege, what some would call fraternity boys, to misbehave?

What about drunk men ganging up against a woman, whether she be real or imaginary, is not offensive? Is this not similar to gang rape at a fraternity party? Why is a man’s attempt to replicate ejaculating in a woman’s mouth by forcing a beer bottle in her mouth and down her throat not offensive? What about fondling the breasts of a cut out to the joy of other men and women before the camera is not offensive? What about the use of these antics in order to maintain an irrational hatred for Hillary by misogynistic Obama staff is not offensive? What makes one think acts similar to these occurred during Hillary clinton staff parties?

Why are the online dolts referring to this sexist pig as a “hottie?” Why is he rewarded with accolades? Are we that masochistic? Do women seriously find sexist pigs attractive? And do they seriously think they should be awarded with positions funded by tax payer money? Why are women excusing his behavior? Some claim he was exhausted from hours of work and should be excused as a result. Yes, many husbands who work beat their wives, and I guess we should excuse them too. After all, they were “tired.”

Or maybe we women are just too tired to hold the men who oppress us accountable.
