News to us! Wonkette editor: If Bill Clinton's a rapist, it doesn't 'make him a bad feminist'

Well, this is really something:

Let’s Talk About Juanita Broaddrick – by @commiegirl1 – https://t.co/ol5n5v2EFU

— Wonkette (@Wonkette) August 15, 2016

And by “talk about Juanita Broaddrick,” what Wonkette’s Rebecca Schoenkopf meant was “be a shameless rape apologist for Bill Clinton”:

I have Thoughts. They may be very Unpopular Thoughts. https://t.co/GYyYm8yTZ5

Schoenkopf says she’s inclined to believe Juanita Broaddrick:

I can absolutely see Bill Clinton doing this (then, not now) and not even thinking of it as rape, but thinking of it as dominant, alpha sex. I can see a LOT of men doing that during that time period, before we started telling them in the ’80s, “hey, that is rape, do not do that.” I can see YOUR NICE GRANDPA doing that, back then.

And then proceeds to say that if Bill Clinton did rape Broaddrick, that doesn’t necessarily make him a bad guy:

To sum up, I think Bill Clinton could very well have raped Juanita Broaddrick; that it doesn’t make him an evil man, or irredeemable (I’m Catholic; we’re all forgiven, if we’re sorry, and Broaddrick says Bill Clinton personally called her up to apologize). It doesn’t even necessarily make him a bad feminist — you know, later, once he stops doing that.

Good Lord.

Schoenkopf appears to be enjoying the attention. And while we’re not inclined to indulge her, we’re also not inclined to pass up a great opportunity to shine a light on “feminist” hypocrisy.

I am absolutely disgusted by this article. Incredible. Literally *attempting* to rationalize rape

Do you even know what feminism means? Hint: it doesn't describe rape apologists like yourself. @commiegirl1 @housetrotter @cutasterfee

@freddiedeboer lemme get this straight. If I rape a woman all I have to do is call her personally to apologize?
