Women do not lie about rape, sexual molestation, domestic violence, or sexual harassment. I know and believe this in the inner reaches of my soul. I know this because feminists assure me that it is true.
Of course, on the rare occasion that a woman DOES lie about rape, sexual molestation, domestic violence, or sexual harassment (though I know that never happens - and I came to this knowledge because feminists assured me of it), that it is always a symptom of poverty or mental imbalance. Normal women don't lie about rape. And of course, very powerful women do not lie about such things either - for they have no need to lie. Of course, this is all a very theoretical discussion, since NO WOMAN LIES about these things, but, just for the sake of discussion, you understand, IF THEY DID, relatively sane women and women who are sufficiently empowered would NOT be among those who lied about such things.
Enter, Oprah Winfrey....
Surely, The Big O is the most powerful woman in the world. She has been powerful longer than Michelle Obama, and will likely be here long after the other Obama is gone. She is more powerful than Hillary, having endorsed Barack Obama against Hillary and thoroughly spanked her! She is likely more endeared by middle class women than even the very Queen of England, or, unbelievably, the recently departed Princess Diana! Oprah is so powerful that she has appeared on the covers of Time, Forbes, Newsweek, and even more important: Cosmo! She is a force to be reckoned with in the economic, political, literary, and cultural worlds. She has the power to tell middle class white women what to think - and they obey (making Oprah far more powerful than the husbands of those same women)!
How odd, then, that The Big O would find it necessary to embellish the events of her life....
We all know the story of Oprah Winfrey's life. From a dirt-poor existence in rural Mississippi - so poor that she, in fact, "adopted" a couple of cockroaches as pets! - she arose and clawed her way to the top, empowering women forthwith, and proving that black women particularly are strong, independent, powerful persons of infinite and moral character. And of course, her story was made even more astounding because, at an early age of minority, she was the victim of child sexual abuse. Poor Oprah was raped, for the first time, at the tender age of nine....
The story in and of itself is enough to inspire simultaneous joy and weeping. It is enough to confer hope upon the hopeless. It is enough to justify her rise to what may be the most powerful, trustworthy, and influential voice on the earth.
Fancy, with such a story, an investigative writer such as Kitty Kelly even attempting to write a book? What exactly was Ms. Kelly's intent - to IMPROVE such a story? Hardly possible.
Nevertheless, with such annoying constitutional rights as freedom of speech at risk, Ms. Kelly set off to do her "research" on the life of The Big O: Oprah Winfrey. As if such "research" were necessary - I mean, Oprah has already told us the story, has she not? - Ms. Kelly then set off to talk to literally dozens of people to get the information for her book! Did I say dozens? Surely, I meant at least 100 different people! Did I say 100 different people? Actually, Ms. Kelly claims to have interviewed more than 800 different people as well as having worked with primary and secondary sources over a time span of four years!
Many of those were family members who knew her during the time periods in which she was teaching tricks to cockroaches and surviving the emotional devastation of sexual molestation.
Oddly, many of those family members took a great deal of resentment at Oprah's representations about her poverty and sexual molestation.
“Where Oprah got that nonsense about growing up in filth and roaches I have no idea,” Katherine Carr Esters said.
"She may be admired by the world, but I know the truth," [Vernon Winfrey, Oprah's father, with whom she went to live at age 14] says. "So does God and so does Oprah. Two of us remain ashamed."
Apparently, Katherine Carr Esters, Vernon Winfrey, and God did not get the required memo from the National Organization for Women (NOW) and other feminists that women do not lie.
In fact, it turns out that Oprah lied about quite a bit. She wasn't so poor that she wore dresses made of potato sacks, as she has maintained. In what I consider to be a bombshell, but which I have yet to see repeated in the mainstream media, Oprah, at least for a time, is said to have willingly worked as a prostitute. There were never any pet cockroaches. In fact, according to Kitty Kelly, there was no child sexual molestation.
NOW is going to have to do a much better job of circulating this "women-don't-lie-about-rape" memo. Apparently Kitty Kelly didn't get it either.
But, Vernon Winfrey did say a rather interesting thing: he said that even Oprah knows the truth (though he implicitly denied that she has enough moral fiber to feel ashamed - as he is, and as he reckons God Almighty to be - about her lies). Katherine Carr Esters took it one step further, in recounting one of her confrontations with The Big O about the lies that she is prone to tell....
“I’ve confronted her and asked, ‘why do you tell such lies?’ Oprah told me ‘that’s what people want to hear. The truth is boring.’”
At least Oprah is consistent in her behavior. Though she presents herself as being something of a "feminist-lite," she apparently regards the truth with the same skepticism and disdain as do her more radical femtard sisters when she admits that "The Truth is Boring."
Now, Ms. Kelly has found other parallels between Oprah and the feminist mainstream:
* A preference for lesbianism.
* A sham marriage/not-quite-marriage.
* An attitude of entitlement.
* A boiling cauldron of anger, just waiting to be released upon some unsuspecting innocent.
And staffers were, *ahem*, encouraged to help keep these, and other factoids, "out of the tabloids."
But perhaps it is the lying about rape that is most disconcerting. Nay, certainly it is her lying about rape that is most disconcerting.
Notice the sheer ease with which such a lie is presented and maintained. Katherine Carr Esters says to Oprah, "Why do you tell such lies?" Oprah simply replies, "It's what the people want. Truth is boring." They want an entertaining and inspiring story. I just give them what they want. Reality be damned.
Or, as summarized by wire sources:
Oprah Winfrey embellished her poor upbringing and made up stories about sexual abuse to boost her ratings, her relatives say in Kitty Kelley’s new biography, the New York Post reported Monday.
The women who lie about rape, child abuse, molestation, and sexual harassment are the very pinnacle of beings so morally corrupt that they scarcely qualify to be called "human." Their worth is so little as to demand that the earth itself swallow them alive and keep them from being any further burden upon the earth. They are pigs. Children. Worthless. Satanic. Vile. Beyond redemption. Deserving only of utter and eternal destruction in Hell, and certain to find exactly that.
But, on the other hand, at least the common woman who lies (and there are millions of them!) is lying for something. At least with most of them, there is custody at issue. Money at issue. A job promotion at issue. Vengeance at issue.
For Oprah? No custody or promotion or any other issue... she is willing to lie because that is what people want and expect. She lies because, rather than being a millionaire, she'd prefer to be a billionaire. She lies because not to lie would simply produce a life that is insufferably boring....
In Oprah's mind, as in the minds of all unthinking women (i.e., "feminists"), reality doesn't matter nearly so much as "what I or the people want." Life is not about honor or truth or morality - it is about a series of exciting templates - mental crutches that those who are incapable of thought rely upon in order to properly (they feel) understand life. Or be "empowered." Or increase their "self-esteem." Or whatever the folks at Lifetime are warbling on about these days....
And of course, to this unthinking herd of cattle, the most exciting template of all is the template of the victimized woman who nonetheless rises to the top.
From "The Burning Bed" to Harlequin Romances, women who are incapable of building real character or engaging in real thought are pumped full of templates all of their lives. Acceptance of these templates inevitably turns these emotionally-overwrought and irrational women to feminism. Feminism, of course, demands that one believe templates rather than comprehend truth, because if one who respected truth became a feminist, they would immediately begin asking uncomfortable questions like, "If men and women are equally capable, why do standards to law school, medical school, business school, the military, the police, and the fire department have to be lowered so that more women can do what men are already doing?"
Feminists, of course, do not appreciate such uncomfortable questions. When women are trained to mindlessly repeat the tenets of a feminist-designed template, such insights are happily avoided.
And because feminists are incapable of thought and are quite averse to reality, they have bequeathed to non-feminists (as well) certain templates that it is necessary to accept. Like the myth of the violent man. Or the myth which notes that women make the best parents. Or the myth that women don't lie about rape, sexual harassment, domestic violence, or molestation and abuse.
On the sacred pages of Objectify Chicks!, it has been noted time and again that women will lie about rape for just about any reason under the sun: for money, out of a preference for neurotic existence, for a pack of cigarettes, to make a political point, to be vindictive, to cover their own questionable behavior, as a means of exciting sympathy to avoid getting into trouble, in order to get a day off from work, or even for no reason at all.
It is odd, is it not, that in engaging in her program of propaganda and lies, by adopting the most convenient template for her crusade of marketing and manipulation, Oprah Winfrey has destroyed that template?
It is now known that upwards of 60% of all allegations of rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment, and child abuse are manufactured - and all of the manufactured allegations are made by women or by children at the behest of women. The next time you are on a jury and someone repeats this howler: "Women don't lie about rape," you know right away that you are being lied to. You know it, because you know that even Oprah Winfrey lies about rape.
And if a lawyer or judge will lie to you about something as basic as that - when it is their responsibility to rather remind you that all accused are presumed innocent (with the corresponding necessity that all accusers are presumed to be lying till evidence establishes otherwise) - perhaps you should ask yourself: "If this judge/lawyer/"victim"/witness will lie to me about something so basic, I wonder if they are lying about everything that they have said?"
For if a woman as powerful, wealthy, respected, and (allegedly) sane as Oprah would lie about rape for absolutely no reason at all - what woman wouldn't lie?
Oprah has always been a radfem extremist. The "moderate" front is just another lie.

These sources represent only the rape and domestic violence part of the equation. If 40%-50% of rape allegations are false, and approaching 100% of domestic violence claims (in America) are false, it is pretty plain that, with the two types of allegations thrown into the same pot, at least 60% of all allegations are false.
It is now a truism that most allegations of child molestation and abuse are made by women in custody hearings. So 60% false allegations may be quite charitable.
"To my considerable chagrin, we found that at least 60 per cent of all the rape allegations [studied in the U.S. Air Force Study] were false." Dr. Charles P. McDowell, Supervisory Special Agent, U.S. Air Force, Office of Special Investigations.
