No, this is not the Onion.
Nessel believes that in order to eliminate sexual harassment in the workplace you must not elect any men--just women.
That of course is sexist, but she's a woman and can get away with it just like a Black Lives Matter protester can get away with racist comments against white people.
"Who can you trust most not to show you their penis in a professional setting? That would be the candidate who doesn't have one," she states in her video.
Naturally, Nessel is a Democrat, the party of identity politics.
"If you get more women in office, if you get more women in positions of authority, you're less likely to have issues where someone is pulling out their penis at an inappropriate time in the workplace," she says.
She states [accurately] that the vast majority of sexual harassment cases involve men, but it's far more likely that harassment against men perpetrated by women in power, are under-reported due to embarrassment of men perceived to be powerless.
Her message is offensive. It's no different than substituting the idea of all Muslims being terrorists.
Nessel seems to think that there problem that exists in which women are the perpetrators of sexual misconduct is minimal. The truth is, complaints are on the rise.In 2015, the vast majority of EEOC cases were filed by women, but over time, the percentage of sexual harassment claims filed by men rose considerably. In fact, 8% of all claims were filed by men in 1990, while in 2015, 17% were filed by men.
Victimization of men by women is more common than previously believed. In a recent article in the Scientific American, that also speaks to the problem of women victimizing other women.
There is nothing wrong whatsoever with women in political office. But to use identity politics and cutesy ploys to get simple-minded people to vote for her, Nessel has stooped very low to conquer.
