Trump pardons famous victim of feminist Mann Act that made it a crime to have consensual sex with a woman

The Mann Act was created in the early 20th century equivalent of the #MeToo movement which was then called "White Slavery". These moral panics bout how badly white women are treated happen repeatedly throughout history. In this case the Mann Act made it a crime to cross a state line with a woman if you (the male) intended to have sex with them. Consent was no defence.

As today the imperialist authoritarian government was happy to ally with the feminist movement as they had their own uses for such a law, and an early victim was Jack Johnson, an uppity negro who was too good at boxing.

Until 1986 the law still said only men could be the criminals and intent on consensual sex was still a crime.

The article and the news won't bother to talk about the Mann Act of course. They will say Jack Johnson was shafted for being black, which is certainly true, but the law used only criminalized male behaviour, and was designed as a super-rape law that made all men rapists regardless of consent, if they had sex or even just INTENDED to have sex with any woman. This is the feminist ideology concept of what rape really is --- sex between a man and a woman.

Just to repeat: feminists in 1910 before women could even vote, had so much power, they lobbied for and got a law that made it a crime for any man to EVEN THINK ABOUT having CONSENSUAL sex with a woman.

And the only constitutional civil rights limit ion this shit was that because it was a federal law they had to introduce the stuff about having to cross a state line.

Always more stupid laws than needed.

The goal of the act was not to make consensual sex into grounds for rape accusations, but its poor wording meant it could be used to make that happen. Just making that clear. Often, interracial couples would be split up by charging the man with rape through this new act.

The Mann Act was not a feminist work, but was obviously very well-received by the budding feminist movement, as its goal was to prevent human trafficking that would result in prostitution.
