Dr. Phil Posts Sexual Assault Tweet, Outraging Twitter Audience
By Ashley Alman
08/21/2013
"Television talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw sparked outrage on Twitter Tuesday, and prompted the creation of a Change.org petition after posting a controversial tweet about women consenting to sex while intoxicated.
McGraw, who often questions his Twitter followers about themes for upcoming shows, asked if it was "OK" to have sex with a girl when she's drunk.
Though the tweet has since been removed from his page, it was up long enough to prompt a great deal of criticism on Twitter.
Carmen Rios, a former college sexual assault activist, started the Change.org petition encouraging supporters to call on McGraw to host a show to educate his viewers on assault prevention:
'Even though he took the tweet down, Dr. Phil should of course admit his error in judgement. But he needs to go a step further. I am asking Dr. Phil to produce a show that shines a light on survivors of rape and sexual assault and begin a national conversation about the specifics of consent – which includes not raping people while they are drunk or otherwise unable to consent.
The many people who have survived rape -- not committed -- are the ones who should have a national platform to discuss how we as a society can make sure tragedies like Steubenville never happen again.'
The petition had more than 350 supporters on Tuesday evening."

Phil is just a bullshitter, or, overadmired at least if he isn't, not like everyone is perfect. Like dr oz, saying to a fat lady if she stops having normal potato fries and has sweet potato fries she can eat as much as she wants and not gain weight, well, yeah right lol. It was a marketing stunt, just like Oprah who was peta's spokesperson of the yeah, ended up trying to buy a real alligator handbag. But I could tell she was fake way before that. She is a salesman basically, buy this buy that, get prizes! And, studies suggest people get pets that look like themselves, Im not sure which audience was studied, but Im sure this extends into liking anything similar to yourself. Which evolutionarily explains rascism and such.
