IOP Pritzker Fellow Nancy French on "The Politics of Sex & Abuse" THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY Monday, February 16 12:30-1:45pm When I grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh, I was convinced that the Democrats had a “woman problem.” The fact that Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton were Democratic patriarchs convinced me that liberals did not take the concerns of women seriously. When I ghosted a book for conservative who talked about her own rape, I clearly saw how “believe all women” did not extend to conservatives. But then, Trump blew my partisan-superiority totally up.
