She wasn’t looking for Kavanagh to be arrested and put in jail.

Anti-feminist. Interesting.

In order for me to help you understand my point, I’m going to ask you to call upon that time some man forced his fingers inside you against your will. Or that he pinned you down and forced him penis in you. Or forced his penis in your mouth. Or put your hand on his penis and made you rub it.

Remember your confusion? Remember the room spinning? Remember that feeling of shame? Remember hoping to God he didn’t tell anyone? Remember hating yourself for “letting” it happen? Remember being afraid of him so you didn’t tell anyone? Remember feeling of self harm?

Oh wait. You’ve never been sexually assaulted by a man? Oh, I’m sorry. Guess you don’t understand. Kindly, move along.

Oh, and The Handmaid’s Tale? It’s not just a show. Don’t Google things. Pick up a damn book.
