US citizens: call on the Senate to reject the appointment of Neomi Rao as a federal judge.

Ms Rao's views on intoxication and rape fit the usual patriarchal pattern of searching for any excuse to blame the victim of rape. They never take that approach for other crimes such as robbery. Right-wingers never tell men, "Taking your wallet was not theft, because you consented by carrying it in your back pocket."

I wish the writers would avoid lumping rape together with a wide range of other actions under the term "sexual assault".
