I think what they're saying is a woman is perceived as always asking for it and never wanting it which is a pretty screwed up position to be in.
So you know it's part of this culture that tells guys they have to push and push and push even if a girl says no because you know there's always a yes behind the no.
And then also tells girls that if they speak out they're not going to be believed because it's all about like well why were you at that bar and why did you send him those texts and what were you really wearing anyway?
I think there's been a lot of reporting that basically says the systems on college campuses let down victims and they let down the accused.
I mean I think that people need to understand like sexual assault does exist on a spectrum and what we have to be honest about is not all of us have the same definition like a good amount of this country believes that if a woman didn't have a gun to her head then she wasn't really assaulted right

he quotes he quotes liberal liberal icon Ben Shapiro who does not like Steve Bannon. I don't think saying that Steve Bannon is an adherent to narrative truth as opposed to factual truth which is why everything on Breitbart looks the way it does because he's not actually concerned with empirical facts. He's concerned with what can mobilize people to reach a certain outcome down the line.

I remember when Tom Brokaw called me, I was in Vermont, a place in Vermont, and he was writing about the greatest generation and he called it the greatest generation on the phone.
And I couldn't believe, I didn't think it was a good title at all. I didn't think, because at that time you couldn't look at us and certainly not now and talk about any generation as the greatest generation.
We've all made so many fucking mistakes.
