Exposing the Corruption of the "Family Values" Party
He is also a rape apologist. He denies that Kavanaugh could have raped Christine Blasey Ford because she did not scream. She needed witnesses! He argues that if a woman does not fight and does not scream, it is not rape. It is a false accusation, not rape. When he was criticized for his ignorant and false arguments, he doubled down. Oddly enough, he is eager to call Black men, Muslim men, and South African men rapists.

Bob Jones University has a long history of blaming the victims of sexual assault–even when they were assaulted elsewhere. In 2011, the role of BJU board member Chuck Phelps in covering up the rape of a 15-year-old and his demand that she apologize to the congregation for allowing herself to be raped.led to some BJU students speaking up about the University’s blaming victims of sexual assault.
In response, BJU hired an independent organization, GRACE, Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment, to investigate the matter in 2012. They let people make reports online and promised to protect students from repercussions when they did interviews. As they neared completion of their report, they were fired. The backlash led to rehired GRACE whose report disclosed a pattern of covering up sexual assault and punishing victims.

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.
