Andrew Cuomo’s braggadocios defense is not taking a page out of the GOP playbook — he’s taking one out of the justice system’s. He knows it will work because it has before. DCampoamor writes
Photo: Office of Governor Andrew Cuomo A months-long investigation into the numerous sexual-misconduct allegations against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo found that not only did he sexually harass at least 11 women but he also cultivated a “hostile work environment” that was “rife with fear and intimidation,” according to a 165-page report released by the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Now, ask a survivor of sexual assault or harassment what they hear in Cuomo’s words. You misunderstood. What you experienced isn’t true. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m right, and you, by virtue of simply coming forward and sharing your story, are wrong. None of this should come as a surprise, though, given that this our justice system was designed to question what Sir Matthew Hale, an infamous English barrister, judge, and juror, called women’s “psychic complexes.” These “complexes,” he argued, were “multifarious, distorted by inherent defects, partly by diseased derangements or abnormal instincts, partly by bad social environment, partly by temporary physiological or emotional conditions.
“When I was raped, despite having internal injuries that required stitches and drugs I didn’t knowingly take being in my system, prosecutors told me, ‘While it may be morally reprehensible for a man to take advantage of a drunk woman, it isn’t rape,’” Leah Griffin, a rape victim and advocate, told the Cut.
