(1,142 posts)I think their claims deserve to be investigated, but you can't always believe them, remember the Duke Lacross scandal?
While I would advocate that their claims deserve to be listened to and given a chance to be validated, you shouldn't believe every thing that you hear from everyone all the time.
You should listen to what they have to say and then see what others have to say. How can you simply believe anything that anyone has to say, all the time?
I realize that this is a very sensitive topic and a time where women are being encouraged to speak out through campaigns like #metoo
That doesn't mean we should believe everything, but it also means that we shouldn't automatically doubt anyone. Whatever happened to reserving judgment instead of rushing to it?
If we just simply believe every allegation that's been made about anyone, where does that leave us when they turn out to be unfounded?
