New York Post Sued for Calling Rape Victim A "Prostitute"

The woman who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of rape (the woman in the U.S. who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of rape, not the woman in France who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of rape!) is suing Murdoch's New York Post for libel after the tabloid smeared her as a "prostitute" and "hooker."

Calling a rape victim a "prostitute" or a "hooker." is just another way of saying 'the bitch was asking for it.' Some things never change in patriarchy:

"We filed the suit because rape victims should not be called prostitutes."
