My reply to your last post

The feminist movement now have something to latch on to. It’s quite scary

You’ll get downvoted by folks who think this doesn’t effect them but they are disregarding their “male-privledge power over women.” WhichI say it tongue-in-cheek, but won’t be surprised if that’s the direction we are headed

Good luck with that when falsely accusing a republican pol of sexual misconduct gets you a seven figure book deal.

Let's be honest here. It's WELL beyond just that case

This whole thing is a VERY bad deal

That would depend on what your definition of is, is.

Remember when it was just that simple to make all accusations go away?

Billy Jeff remembers.

It's kind of refreshing that at least for a week the racial witch hunt has been replaced by gender wars.

There's literally zero chance they are all legit. Yet. There's absolutely nothing you can do if you're falsely accused if the mere accusation ruins you.

I completely agree with your OP. Accusations stick even when false.

I was just recalling how the media bent over backwards giving Clinton an out. Prior to the 1992 election 60 Minutes turned an episode into a bill Clinton for sainthood infomercial.

And if it’s one thing black folks don’t care about it’s white women claiming sexual harassment/assault

I have a hard time sympathizing with the Hollywood crowd. Keeping silent for decades in exchange for money and success while the behavior intensifies doesn't register as praiseworthy in my book

I really strongly disagree. Let the irrationality of Progressivism take its toll on as many innocent people as possible. Societal chaos and wreckage ( errybody guilty !!! ) is a much faster path to repudiating Progressivism. Hand them a mic and Shine a light on them. It’s very Khmer Rouge- like , screaming mobs of wide eyed cultural revolutionaries everywhere pointing the finger. Give them a chance to turn off every rational person in America.

Well yea, that and the possibility of them stretching the truth or just outright lying because how they feel today isn’t how they felt back then. My biggest gripe is sensationalizing these allegations to make them seem on par with violent sexual abuse/rape/assault.

I don't want to make this about Clinton.

But, I'll say this. If your accusations include potential witnesses or evidence, then great. But if your accusations are nothing more than he said she said and they're 30 years old, shut the frick up.

Its one thing if your perp 30 years ago was a nobody and you decided to move on but now, he suddenly got famous or potentially powerful

And MAYBE i give you the whole humiliation pass on rape.

But pahleez with the whole, "I've known he was a harasser for 30 years but only now have courage.

That's IMPOSSIBLE to differentiate from, "i never really liked that fricker and now I'm going to get him"

Well some may be. But trading success for silence makes it impossible to prove without a confession
