one of three unflattering articles on the “mens rights” movement.
“The indictment of IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn on sexual assault charges has cued up some tried-and-true media narratives about politics, international affairs and important men and their bad behavior: Powerful men feel awfully entitled to treat women poorly. Americans are prudish (especially about sex). The French are arrogant (about everything). And any woman who says she was raped might be lying and probably did something wrong.
Not long after DSK was arrested, the hunt began for information about the woman he is accused of assaulting. We learned she is a “chambermaid” in the $3,000-per-night suite where DSK stayed; we learned she is an immigrant and a Muslim. She’s a single mom. And … that’s it. Even after invasive questioning of her friends, neighbors and relatives, reporters haven’t been able to dig up much dirt.
But the press and the public nevertheless remain concerned about the personal details of her life. More progressive media outlets have been careful to note that she wears a headscarf, which is apparently proof positive of her chastity. The New York Post insinuated she has HIV or AIDS (a claim her lawyer denies). French publications printed her name and the name of her daughter. They included quotes about her relative hotness (she either isn’t very seductive or is very pretty, depending on the paper you read) and the size of her breasts and buttocks. French intellectual Bernard-Henri Levy, writing in the Daily Beast, suggested that she’s lying because, he says, hotels typically send in a “cleaning brigade” of multiple housekeepers, and the accuser in this case was doing her job alone — an argument that’s a close relative of “Well what was she doing there anyway, and why was she wearing that?” As for the other women who came forward and said DSK tried to rape them or coerced them into sex, Levy dismissed them as “pretend[ing] to have been the victim” and of attempting “to settle old scores or further their own little affairs.”
