The Scrapbook finds itself so very, very disappointed in the media for their coverage of the recent salacious assertions about the president-elect.
Typical was the New York Daily News report on the alleged compromising material:
Count The Scrapbook among those who find the whole story laughable. But what caught our eye—and our ire—was the assertion that the supposed sex acts were to be labeled “perverted.”
Perverted? Isn’t that word awfully judgmental for an age that champions—indeed, enforces—acceptance of any and every consensual sexual proclivity? Isn’t that word anathema to all right-thinking folks, an offensive throwback to a kind of oppressive Victorian morality that denies the sexually curious their human rights? Isn’t that word an affront to the “water-sports community”?
As those who like that sort of thing have been quick to point out, this is an abominable instance of “kink-shaming.” (Soon enough, The Scrapbook assumes, even the very word “kink” will come to be seen as unacceptably pejorative.)
Still, it is a measure of how much Trump has unhinged the left that he has driven them to make the old-school claim that kinky sex is perverse.
