Amy Schumer Defends Rape Bro-pologist Kurt Metzger: ‘He’s Not Bill Cosby’
The name of the column is 'not helping', if the title alone wasn't enough for you.
I find it incredibly funny that they have to open the column with this line:
Contrary to what Taylor Swift might think, feminists don’t actually enjoy criticizing other women.
Also they're smearing Metzger with guilt by association, and Schumer with guilt by association by association (association squared?). How long before anyone who's ever spoken positively of anyone who doesn't think that accusations are evidence is called out for "not helping"?
I think it's like a lawsuit - where you want to go for the deepest pockets you can justify. If I'm hurt in an accident with a semi, I'll sue the semi driver for sure, but maybe also the company that employs him, because I might be able to drag them into it with some tort law justification (negligent hiring maybe?) and more to the point, they actually have the money to pay my hospital bills.
The feminists could attack Mr. No Name who has been accused of rape, but no one will pay any attention, because no one is going to know who he is. Luckily Kurt Metzger defended No Name though, so they can go after him, and he gets them a little more attention. Then when Amy Schumer wades into the fight and tells them that maybe they should cool it, they've hit the jackpot. Everyone has heard of Amy Schumer, so now their bitch fest will get them tons of attention. On a related note, this columnist at the Beast could have written a column about No Name or Metzger, but she is going to get shit tons more hits by putting Amy Schumer's big fat
ass name in the headline. Schumer is the focus of the piece for the same reason Gawker spies on celebrities and publishes their sex tapes, not because there is any kind of legitimate "guilt" to speak of.
