Selective feminism is all the rage these days. And Bette Midler is more than happy to carry the torch.
The other night, she took to Twitter to slime Al Franken accuser Leeann Tweeden:
This is Al Frankel's accuser, #LeeAnnTweeden. Better not let #Trump see this; he'll want to meet her. Badly. https://t.co/DadEJxhCuq

Because when the chips are down and your boy’s in trouble, blame the victim.

Delete it? But then some people might never know just how deep her awfulness goes.
Woah. I've never not respected you. Until now. ?

So it's the woman's fault because how she dressed for a mag cover?
You have just disappointed many women and men Bette.— HWDConservative (@HWDConservative) November 21, 2017

Blaming and shaming the victim – thereby justifying, & maintaining climate for, future abuse. https://t.co/QatBMjtxXQ

As a survivor, I've been incredibly disappointed to discover this week how many supposed fellow progressives are not really my allies.
