Yes. I don't mean to suggest that just because it's not official policy that rape never happens, nor does anyone else. But the resolution she's voting present on isn't about rape in general, it's about rape as a method of warfare, and honestly if she said yes I'm going to vote yes on this and then use my platform/go to the UN/write my own resolution to call out incidents of rape by IDF soldiers in the territories and how Israel is doing nothing about it, she could totally do that and I'd be 100% behind her on that. But she hasn't once done that, before or after October 7. So either it's not that important to her at all, or at best is's whataboutism on her part.

@JustinMac84 @serrebi But Justin, coming up with solutions you've thought through and that have a snowball's chance in hell of actually working takes, well, actual work. And work is hard. And isn't as sexy as yelling at other people/groups and being self-righteous little shits. And we all know that social media is about making you feel good about yourself, whether there's an algo to grease the skids or not.
