Jill Filipovic: The Problem With ‘Feminist' Men

[NYTimes] It hurts the most when it’s one of the "good" ones. The latest man to torpedo his own career is Eric Schneiderman, who resigned Monday evening from his position as New York State attorney general just hours after The New Yorker published a long piece detailing the myriad ways he is alleged to have abused some of the women in his life: hitting them, choking them, sexually degrading them, psychologically mistreating them and verbally undermining their work and their sense of self.

At home, it seems, Mr. Schneiderman was a sexual sadist and manipulative misogynist. At work, he was a champion of women’s rights, investigating potential charges against Harvey Weinstein, appearing at events supporting reproductive freedom, and even writing a bill specifically to punish the same kind of strangulation he is said to have forced on some of his partners.

How do we reconcile these two versions of a single man?
We don't, you stu, ahem, dear young lady - because most of us learned by the time we were your age that virtuous people don't wave their virtue around.

#2  Equal before the law is just a phrase in the war to attain power. Ask the little people. For the Left it's only about power.

#1  It hurts the most when it’s one of the “good” ones.

Translation: Holding a Democrat accountable for their actions is painful.
