Story here. Excerpt:
'But NOW, without having heard from any of the women with whom Letterman had sex, using this opportunity to address the issue is classless, and most importantly, shows it doesn't truly care about the individual experiences of women, but rather, will readily write them off to achieve an end goal.
In this instance, NOW attempts to speak for all women, represent all women, without them asking NOW to do so. In this instance, it is NOW making victims out of women who otherwise are empowered women who just so happened to have had sex with Letterman.
It seems NOW does not think women can make decision on their own as to with whom to have sex, nor does it trust women enough to think that they can have sex without having been coerced into it.
Time and again, it seems NOW is stuck in the past - unable to change and get past the fights it so honorably fought for in the early days of its existence. It seems to comprise of privileged women who claim to speak for all women, without actually checking in with women to understand their lived experiences or needs.'
