Tell The Washington Post: Fire George Will

Tell The Washington Post:

"Rape is real. No one wants to be a victim. Fire George Will."

    UPDATE: The Washington Post just doubled down on rape culture. After a barrage of criticism over George Will's weekend column, the newspaper published an article titled "One way to end violence against women? Stop taking lovers and get married." The Washington Post has to stop. That starts with firing George Will.  

    ----

    The Washington Post actually just published an opinion piece mocking sexual assault survivors and saying that women want to be raped.

    The author, conservative columnist George Will, goes so far as to write that colleges are making "victimhood a coveted status" by taking public steps to curb sexual assaults on campus.

    He even implies that non-consensual sex is not rape, when in fact it's the very definition of rape!

    George Will makes his living writing columns that many people disagree with. But his latest column has gone too far. Rape is a serious crime--accusing women of making it up and arguing schools shouldn't be addressing sexual assault puts both women and men at risk. By publishing George Will's piece, The Washington Post is amplifying some of the most insidious lies that perpetuate rape culture. It's not just wrong--it's dangerous.
