TAMMY BRUCE (HOST): You know, and here you are, a woman in uniform. You're a lieutenant, San Francisco. It's a liberal city. Liberalism used to mean that feminism -- that women were going to be treated with respect, that we're going to be able to live our lives without being afraid. And yet, I'd argued, when I was with the National Organization for Women, I saw the trajectory that eventually even rape was going to be argued as performance art or expression of your hatred for women. And I have to tell you, Lieutenant, I think we're seeing it. We're seeing all of us being thrown away into the dumpster because of someone who's a big donor.
