I've not checked in on Althouse for a while, because she really is rather dreary. But oh well, what the hell. What's our dear delightful dingbat up to?
She's a just a small town girl, living in a lonely world, going on and on and on... she is living in Brooklyn, apparently, on some sort of moron academic exchange program, and seems to spend most of her time gadding around like a total dork taking crappy unfocused pictures of the Big Buildings in the Big City. NYC sure has a lot of 'splainin to do -- back in my day, you know, Dinkins Time, she'd have been decently mugged by now.
She is also still sharing her opinions about things, unfortunately. Here she is still yammering on about the Judith Warner Thelma & Louise piece that Molly discussed intelligently here and herself burbled nonsensically about here. Her thesis is that violence against women may be down statistically, but that is irrelevant, because Bill Clinton had a consensual affair with Monica Lewinsky in the 1990s, and therefore women in 2007 are obviously still very much oppressed.
Right.
Of course, as always, the real joy is in the Althouse comments section:
Feminists invented the idea of "rape as hate crime" because it fit their overall "men vs. women" worldview. There was never any evidence to support it, and the demographics of rape correlate very strongly with the demographics of fertility and peak sexual attractiveness. Ugly old women virtually never get raped.
Rape is a love crime, then.
Althouse is down to the scrape-the-barrel level craziness, and who could have ever seen that coming.
