You can’t make this stuff up …

This story has been picked up by several blogs:

An Iowa blogger who claimed to use activism and education to promote “a more just and life-affirming culture of sexuality” for women, especially those women who have been victims of sexual violence, has pleaded guilty to photographing and filming a college student’s breasts without her consent.

Kyle D. Payne, 22 of Ida Grove, presented his guilty plea Monday in Iowa District Court for Buena Vista County. He agreed he was guilty of felony attempted burglary in the second degree and two counts of invasion of privacy, a serious misdemeanor.

I guess to put a positive spin on this guy, one could say as a way of dealing with his urges he tries to compensate with advocacy on behalf of women victimized by sexual predators.  Then again, he could just be a jerk and a hypocrite.

He’s young still, so maybe he will get some psychological help and end up being a decent guy after all.

Still it’s a sad day for male feminists.
