Feminist icon Sandra Fluke, who recently failed to gain a seat in the California State Senate, took Twitter Monday to show the world just how bad she is at making analogies:
Horrified by #TortureReport & by how it mirrors domestic challenges of #sexualassault & violence against men of color by authority figures.
— Sandra Fluke (@SandraFluke) December 9, 2014In case you missed the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report, it was laced with details of Secret CIA detention facilities, waterboarding and torture techniques, and charges of the CIA lying to Congress, the Department of Justice, and even the White House.
So how exactly does it reflect cases of sexual assault and of police violence against the black community? Maybe with the 140-character limit on Twitter, Fluke thought a little ambiguity would slide. Unfortunately for her, that was not the case:
@SandraFluke I don't think "mirrors" means what you think it means. @Frogtox

I'm horrified that you still consider your opinion worth voicing.

And this one pretty much sums up everyone’s feelings at this point:
@SandraFluke As much as you don't want to admit it, you have finally fallen into obscurity.
