Assange and Wikileaks

""In fact, it is totally possible to support the WikiLeaks project and to think that the international response to Assange and the project is thoroughly fucked up and to think we should withhold judgment on whether or not Assange is actually a rapist and also to think that we should withhold judgment on whether the women are lying, and to not discredit the women involved, and to not create a hostile climate for rape survivors, and to not play into every tired old stereotype about women and rape.  Seriously, we can chew gum and walk at the same time." (thanks Emily)

PS I should indicate that I am not fan of Wolf and I think that, aside from her first book, The Beauty Myth, she has written some sexist and silly things on gender.
