More to come, I'm sure. - What I find hard to believe...

Posted: Dec 17th, 2017 - 6:35 am In Reply to: Libs never seem to learn four - critical lessons...

...is that the women are always so very, very innocent. Come on - we all know the score and we know this isn't true. Many behave and dress provocatively precisely in order to achieve certain purposes.

ANY PRESUMPTION OF BEHAVIORAL PURITY AND HONESTY OF WOMEN IS B.S.! In fact, the sexual behavior of women in society over the past decade or two has, I would say, finally achieved that thing we all wanted - parity with men. And these aren't just the wrong-side-of-the-track "sluts" either. Visit any bar within a stone's throw of any financial district or an ivy league college and you'll see gender equality - by women of supposedly "good" backgrounds - in action. And I do mean REAL "action."

We also all know that there's no "truth gene" possessed by women nor any reason we should presume they're telling the truth. I've seen some tell the most shocking lies about people with the popeyed innocent look of an infant.

But it's become INAPPROPRIATE EVEN TO RESERVE JUDGMENT about accusations, let alone doubt them. I'm sick of people on both sides of the political spectrum - purely for PC reasons - say that "these women should be believed" or "there's no reason to doubt them."

There are PLENTY of purely logical and moral reasons to require something more than what we have in many cases.

...and finally, we all know how some women behave when they believe they've been "scorned" or not gotten what they wanted out of a relationship. Just ask any divorce lawyer.

So, I will continue to abide by the principle of presumed innocence absent more objective evidence than a mere accusation, whether the accused is someone I happen to like or agree with or not.

...and I'm even more determined than ever to do so now that information has come to light about payments and other favors being doled out in exchange for accusations.

Let's raise our threshold of proof a little bit higher than hearsay, people.

Oh, and by the way...multiple accusers is only no-proof times X. It's not proof either. I can point to many times that multiple people have told the same lie. Unless they corroborate the same incident, each accusation stands on its own...or it doesn't. Accusations are like coin flips...each is independent of the others.

Nor are settlements proof, either. Organizations and individuals will settle claims for many reasons other than guilt...and we who automatically believe claims are one of the reasons why. Once an accusation gets out, it has a life of its own even if it's completely false. And our legal system is responsible for "innocent" settlements, because the accuser won't be required to pay your legal costs nor any punitive damages, even if you prove she lied. You'll have to sue her back. That's not how it works in some countries where lawsuits are, just coincidentally, much less common. Loser pays the winner, no countersuit needed.

Oh, and ONE OTHER THING: Accusations that involve things men (Trump or otherwise) have SAID (it's in the Matthews piece too). Get a grip, people. Just go to a "girl's night out" or a bachelorette party and you'll hear worse.

Equality. We wanted it, we've got it. We even watch porn at the same rate as men now - and we buy "sex toys" at a HIGHER rate. I hear there's a feminine "extension" for a certain brand of electric toothbrush. I mean hey - it's just a toothbrush.

The only thing where we're not equal to men is that we've got it all over men when it comes to whining about the consequences of getting what we wished for.

Is there real sexual abuse? Of course. But I would suggest that in no small way we ourselves have contributed to it by our own behavior and by helping to create a society in which the rules and the signals have become very mixed, and often confusing.

We need to think about ALL these things when we're being asked to evaluate accusations of misconduct that have nothing else to support them.
