1164: Dennis Prager

Rape Culture

Dennis Prager, as far as anyone knows, has not assaulted anyone, but he spends a lot of time making sexual assault possible and probable. He rushed to the defense of Brett Kavanaugh citing examples of his mother and wife being sexually assaulted and not raising a public stink about it. He seems to think it laudable that two men were allowed to continue sexually assaulting women since the women he cared about stopped the assault. To Prager, holding men accountable for sexual assault “undermines foundational moral principles of any decent society.” Sexual assault doesn’t seem to threaten anything, but accountability threatens society itself.
