10 Lessons on Consent Roy Moore Can Learn From BDSM

How do you make Roy Moore? It's easy. Drop a would-be healthy kiddo in Gadsden, Ala., feed him Bible and shame for most of his childhood, throw him in the harsh conditions of Vietnam, entrench him in a religious community that hates coastal decadence, people of color, LGBTQ folks, and women, and voila! You have another zeitgeist of the Republican establishment. Sit back and watch your little monster grow -- potentially into a United States senator.

Moore is a Bible Belt man. He sincerely, wholeheartedly believes he's right -- that his religion is right -- and that you're wrong, you socialist with a bachelor's degree, you refugee, you Hispanic immigrant. Like many, he believes women are subservient to men in a Christian family, that they should be docile and "pure." The allegations of misconduct and sexual assault -- some of which include children -- are piling up.
