6. No it doesn't. Again I suggest you really read it again.

It points out that while excuses are made for Bill e.g. Him being a victim of Racism in the way he was targeted, or the silly argument that because white men have not faced a judge in the way he has he was somehow unjustly targeted.... The poem points out that this view gives cover to rapists, and minimizes the horrific experiences of women.

This poem is actually a direct rebuttal to the offensive statement by Bill Cosby's publicist ( which mentioned Kavanaugh).

I suspect you're hooked on the first line and can't see past it "Bill Cosby learned he can't treat a white woman like white men can" - This is an ironic ( even mocking) take on arguments I heard myself in defense of Bill Cosby.
