(57,751 posts)No one wants abuse to be true. We want to have abuse and rape taken seriously. We want to see people stop reflexively disbelieving rape victims and defending rapists. We want people to acknowledge that Dylan Farrow and others like her are HUMAN BEINGS who matter. They are not objects or toys for adults to violate at will. She deserves to have her case heard, something that infuriates you.
Allen married the sister of his children, a girl he watched grow up. His lust for that barely legal girl was more important to him than the well-being of his children. It's not a huge leap to think someone like that would abuse a child. The fact is, chances that Dylan is not telling the truth or is falsely remembering are very low, while chances of her telling exactly what happened are high. All the data available about the frequency of child abuse and the infrequency of false accusations makes that clear. None of that matters to you.
You have made no reference to facts. None. You are intent on ignoring facts. Justice is not blood. Allen will never face justice. The statue of limitations has expired. Like most of the accused and actual pedophiles on earth, he is free to continue to reoffend, while victims lives are destroyed. That is not accidental. That happens because of rape culture, because people insist on disbelieving rape victims because they do not want to see rapists and child molesters brought to justice.
