Distraction from the class struggle, comrade.

Identity politics tries to break all kinds of factors down into tidy little single issues, with identities attached. Maybe the left just bolted on this array or issues, instead of really integrating them into the mainstream of its politics? Rather like the way state-sponsored "multiculturalism" actually divides people and undermines antiracism?

but you haven't said whether the allegations against you stood up to examination.
Have you had the trial yet?

Without knowing whether you raped someone or not, it's difficult to say.

No, don't be silly.

Which goes back to my point about the left having difficulty integrating "identity politics" into its raison d'etre. Yes, that's a good analogy.

Hey, Dean Yager!
I take it you denied them to the police, went through the process and no charges were brought. Rather than at a press conference. And that you didnt first attack the integrity of the claimants publicly, and have a go at the police and prosecution as well?
Then no, silly.

Didn't go to trial. Obviously the women involved were too frightened to pursue it.
I have also on a few occasions penetrated a sleeping woman. On none of those occasions were rape allegations made. I too have been woken by a mouth round my cock. Sexual assault surely?
Because identity politics campaigners aren't necessarily left wing. Someone campaigning for gay rights can as easily be a conservative voter as a socialist.

You're not actually this stupid, so why are you pretending to be?Didn't go to trial. Obviously the women involved were too frightened to pursue it.

We did this two days ago. Did you miss the party?

Surely even denying the accusation was attacking the integrity of the claimant? And denying it to nutty feminists was doing it publicly.

You mean not stupid enough to do it or not stupid enough to admit it?

I was at another one. Lot more fun.

not stupid enough to know your argument is completely specious and nothing to do with the actual issue

Hey, Dean Yager!
Depends where, and how you denied it. During a police interview, not so much integrity attacked as its not exactly public. Mouthing off down the local, little bit less right.

Rioted, how does your particular case relate to the Assange accusations and defence? Not that I know what happened to you, but did you say to your accuser that what they called rape, wasn't really rape? Did you say that investigating rape wasn't important, since you were an opponent of the US?
I can't see really why you think there's a parallel here.

Yes. The issue of egalitarianism in terms of gender is cross platform. So to speak.
The left have to view it through the prism of class. And this won't suit feminists who want to challenge gender equality but are happy with the status quo with regards to the class system.

That's because there are people who want equality of one sort, but not of another. Socialism has the ambition to bring about total equality. I hope.
Hasn't historically, though. I think the Soviet Union was a pretty sexist society, by most accounts. Of course it can be argued that it wasn't socialism proper either.

No, sorry but that's just nonsense. The socialist aspect of the USSR drove the whole Russian Empire in a far more sexually equal direction, with a legacy of women in work that remains in some former-Communist countries. it's true that many versions of socialism have compromised and accepted certain forms of inequality, but that's not because of socialism''s aspirations, but in spite of it.

The left have to view it through the prism of class, but somehow remain mindful that their prism is constructed within a patriarchal society.
