Male Persuasion: Herman Cain's Website Calls One of His Accusers an 'Ugly Bitch'

Here's Team Herman Cain's defense of their boss: He couldn't possibly have sexually harassed his second accuser, Karen Kraushaar, because she's an "ugly bitch".

And they're sooooo funny, too, "clarifying" that Kraushaar is not the horse in the picture.

Boy, I bet that convinces all the women out there, eh? Granted, it probably will work great with Republican men, who all seem to believe that only attractive women could possibly be sexually harassed. (This is particularly the case with "MP" at the Cain PAC blog.)

AP Reports Herman Cain Accuser Karen Kraushaar Made Complaint On Later Job
Posted on November 9, 2011 by Tommy Christopher



On the heels of her outing by News Corp’s iPad-only The Daily, the inevitable media dissection of Herman Cain accuser Karen Kraushaar has begun in earnest. The Associated Press reports, this morning, that Kraushaar lodged a complaint, while with the INS, that included a tangential reference to a sexually offensive email distributed by a manager there, several years after the Cain allegations caused her departure from the National Restaurant Association.

There’s nothing wrong with the AP’s reporting of the story, but its underlying subtext is disturbing. The report explains that “details of the workplace complaint that Kraushaar made at the immigration service are relevant because they could offer insights into how she responded to conflicts at work,” which is, itself, a somewhat skewed conclusion. The complaint can also be viewed as relevant because it could illustrate the degree to which women are expected to shut up and take it when they have gender-based complaints.

But the real subtext here is that Karen Kraushaar is just the kind of overly-sensitive spoilsport to get her panties in a bunch over a simple height comparison, or an email that’s all in good fun, and who would make unreasonable demands over a minor grievance. She’s obviously an uppity bitch looking for a big payday. Add in the already chugging Drudge-fueled “Obama administration” narrative (even though Kraushaar was a Bush-era hire), and she’s an uppity Democrat bitch.

Even if you take everything in this report at face value, though, what you have is someone reacting reasonably to circumstances that she viewed as unreasonable. She was in a serious car accident, and was denied her request to work from home, when she saw others being allowed to do so. She thought this was unfair, and she also objected to a supervisor distributing a clearly sexist, inappropriate email.

7. wonder if this will
hurt his LinkedIn Business status.

Bet he won't find any women who want to go ballroom dancing with him (his hobby).

He made a big mistake.
