George Faught was the state representative of Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA, when in his zealous defense of banning abortion in cases of rape and incest, he said pregnancy is how “God can bring beauty from ashes.” In the debate on his bill banning abortion in the case of fetal abnormalities, a Democratic pro-choice representative asked him if rape was the will of God. It’s evident from his response that he thinks so. He left the House to run for Congress, unsuccessfully.

Ken Starr is most infamous as the sex-obsessed independent counsel who chose to include prurient sexual details in The Starr Report and in the Senate trial questioning of Monica Lewinsky. That is not why he is featured on this list even though his desire to humiliate and debase Lewinsky certainly displayed misogyny. However, it was in his role as the President of the largest Baptist school in America, Baylor University, where he earned complete ignominy by covering up the rapes of several women enrolled as students there. Protecting the football players was much more important than protecting women. It seems even today Baylor University would like to pretend it never happened.

182: David Garland
