Hunter S. Thompson: A Glimpse of the Feminist Perspective
CW: discussion of sexual assault, racism, sexism Today we are going to be looking into Hunter’s portrayal of the sexual assault allegations leveled against the Hell’s Angels, in his article The Motorcycle Gangs. This breakthrough piece would later evolve into his infamous book named for the notorious gang. Hunter decides to write about the outlaw gang because he can clearly see that the motivation of the mainstream media is to portray them as horrific monsters that travel the West Coast in packs, stalking every innocent in every town, for no better reason than a bloodthirsty need for chaos. He goes in and learns the obvious- they are people, and therefore complex. He does not necessarily try to portray them as heroes, but he is pretty much always on their side. For the most part, this is a good thing. But when we’re talking about sexual assault, I don’t think it is.
