(3,163 posts)I'm not talking about the rapes of the women, or the men who did it. I'm not accusing them of false claims and I'm not defending anyone who committed horrible crimes. I'm talking about the media and the chorus of women who "embrace the moment" to express their sense of power.
Of all the accusations that are flying around today, several dozen men, who has suggested that they would like to see any evidence? Who has asked for proof? No. They entire chorus has chimed in with a single cry of, "Hang the bastards, hang all of them."
The accusers are not taking the accused to court. They are not filing suits or asking that they be charged. They are getting their pound of flesh merely by making the accusation.
If these women went to law enforcement and said, "Arrest this man," I would cheer for a moment of justice. If they went to a court of law and sought redress in the venue of the justice system, I would follow the trial and cheer when they were victorious. But they do neither. They go to the media and ruin his life in the press with nothing but an accusation, and he loses his job and his reputation with no opportunity to face his accuser of defend himself, rights which are guaranteed to him in our constitution.
