Graham Platner's comments on women wearing Kevlar underwear.
"Rape is a real thing. If you're so worried about it to buy Kevlar underwear you think you might not get blacked out fucked up around people you aren't comfortable with."
- Graham Platner, on Reddit in 2013
(and reported by CNN, NBC News and the Washington Post in October 2025.)
Senator Bernie Sanders first endorsed Graham Platner for the U.S. Senate in August 2025.
And if a fucking Republican had said it? Sanders would have railed against the candidate not for misogyny, but for being backed by corporate interests.
Reminds me reading about the comment Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Clayton Williams made in 1990: "Weather's like rape," he said. "If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it."

Democrat Ann Richards Shish kebabed Williams over that remark, overcoming a 20 point deficit in the polls to win the general election.
Platner would have never stood a chance against Susan Collins in November. I could see the commercials:
"Democrat Graham Platner said he thinks women ought to wear Kelvar underwear if they are worried about getting raped."
But Bernie Bros had f*cking blinkers on as if no one reports the fire it won't grow.
Here is the full comment; Platner is P-Hustle. Guess he never thought all his Reddit comments would be archived by before he deleted them

I like how the comments are predominantly male. By males, that I can assume, don't frequently worry about getting raped. Most rapes occur between people that know each other. A lot of rapes involve booze and drugs. This product isn't useless. Being a college student, around a thriving party scene, I hear about a lot of horrible shit that goes down. Sometimes involving people whom are passed out.

Generally speaking, if you know the person, they probably aren't crazed, psychopath murderers. Sometimes it's just the average joe you met who got a little handsy and won't take no for an answer.
There's always that story about the girl who gets raped because she drank too much and somebody took advantage of that. Shouldn't she be allowed to drink as much as she wants, and fucking pass out in the floor, if she wants to, without having to worry about the well-being of her nether regions?
Who are you mother-fuckers to say that it's useless? Who are you to take away somebody's peace of mind?

Holy fuck, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so fucked up they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to? Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don't want to be in a comprising situation, act like an adult for fucks sake.
Rape is a real thing, if you're so worried about it to buy Kevlar underwear you'd think you might not get blacked out fucked up around people you aren't comfortable with.
