I wonder if some of these men accused were actually raised by and/or around a woman/women.
Take some personal responsibility which is something Conservatives are always preaching !
Stop trying to make it a partisan issue !
Actually men keep it in their pants, while women are incapable of dressing properly.

Bill Clinton sexually abused Chelsea? I hadn't heard that before. Do you have a link?

What is certain is that conservative women are harassed/assaulted/raped just as often as liberal women. The men who do these things don't care about their political leanings. It's all about power.
Maybe if you met a cross section of "conservative women", you wouldn't be so quick to stereotype them all.

Perhaps it's time for you to get out of your liberal enclave and get to know a good cross section of people.

These women do it and hope that it will evolve into something and when it doesn't, they get upset about it. The women's movement has created this. Women are supposed to have sex like a man, with no strings attached. Women aren't designed to be that way. Do women get horny and want to get laid? Probably sometimes. But I don't think I have met a woman yet who wants to just have a bunch of sex with people they barely know without a relationship. Not to say it doesn't happen on occasion. But generally not.

If you want to see an example of a woman who had buyer's remorse and ruined a college kid's life over it, google 'occidental college date rape' to see the story. I am glad I don't have sons.
I am glad you don't have sons too.

Now you have paid demonstrators, in the halls of congress over clear false allegations from decades ago, yet they turn a blind eye when questioned about Cory Booker and Keith Ellison, with actual proof.
MeToo is astroturf, meant to go after Republicans. It has netted Democrats.
Yeah -- the metoo people forgot to check Bill Clinton's record before they began their little quest.

Truth be told, while I don't have kids yet, I would be applying the same statements. Even if there is a lack of phys. evidence or audio/videos, consistent testimony from other people helps.

*referenced from twitter.com/johncardillo/status/1041703941057208327, which describes what the Ellison case has and Dr. Ford's claim has)
It appears you'd benefit by checking out #whyididn'treport on Twitter. Very eye-opening, and I believe the number of individual Tweets which have appeared in the last two and a half days is presently up to over 400,000.

Some obvious points:

(1) Rape and sexual assault are terrifying and traumatizing. Some victims may recall tiny details; others may block everything out.

(2)Multiple witnesses are unlikely in many, many cases in which rapists seek to isolate their victims and attack them while alone with them. Multiple supporting witnesses are even more unlikely.

(3) Photos: Can you offer an example of a rape victim who had the presence of mind to take photos of her attacker? (as in, "Here, if you're all done, let me just grab a picture"??). Detailed 911 transcriptions: How many rape victims are able to get to a phone and place such a call promptly, when they are terrified, humiliated, in pain and in fear for their lives?

Please do go read twenty or so of those accounts on Twitter. Education and understanding are wonderful things.

So is compassion.

They are part of the Cult#45!
Yes, and most of them either hold Republican office or are active in Republican politics.

Shameful bunch of Trumpites. I wonder if any are the mothers of daughters, and if so, how those daughters feel about this?

[/b]It's like the old thing where people say if you don't want your house robbed, don't leave your doors unlocked. You must make it easier for the person to rob you.
But surely not every single man with whom you might go alone to an isolated place would automatically attempt to rape you. Even if you were drunk. Do you not know any gentlemen, who instead would have helped you and seen you safely home?

There have been many times when a member of the opposite sex and I went for woodland walks, for example. A picnic with wine or beer might have been included. Either of us might have felt a few effects as a result.

No rape occurred. Not even a consideration. No one felt vulnerable or threatened by anyone else - neither I nor my companion. Nor did either of us view it as an opportunity to jump each others' bones, consensually or not. Yet we were alone, deep in the woods, far from the city and even far from paved roads or other people...and would have to walk out to one car, with no other vehicle around.

This would be true for most men of my acquaintance, who also would be respectful of their female friends, spouses, family members, girlfriends and companions in such a circumstance. Those who would not be respectful would find themselves condemned socially and ostracized.

If it came to rape, well, they would be beyond the pale and would be turned over to the authorities. I think the same is likely true in most social circles of people of any degree of intelligence and kindness, who value justice and civility. Victims - survivors, actually - would be comforted and cherished and assured of their worth, and urged to seek justice.

Actually, something like this DID happen to a woman in my circle several years ago - she was out running on a residential street when she was grabbed and assaulted. Was she therefore to blame for what happened to her?? After all, she was alone...much smaller than her assailant...wearing running shorts and a tank top, not exactly a burkha. Should she be condemned for her "bad judgment" for wearing scanty clothing and running alone before it was fully daylight?

She wasn't, at least not by her caring friends, who came to her side and continued to be warm and supportive friends afterwards. Thankfully. Had they not continued to be her friends, they would not have continued to be my own friends, either.

What you have posted is both condemnatory of all men as well as of yourself, as you seem to hold yourself, and presumably any other woman in the same situation, responsible for being raped because of bad judgment. By the same token, you are letting the rapist off the hook entirely, since his victim had such "bad judgment".

Do you not see how unjust both of these viewpoints are?? Not every man is a rapist - thankfully - and no woman who is raped deserves to be blamed because of her supposedly "bad judgement". The responsibility in all cases is entirely that of the rapist, no one else.

NONE of those are valid excuses or accusations.

I don't know about Bill sexually exploiting Chelsea on shock jock radio, but Trump certainly did that to his own flesh and blood. It's like a sickness with Cult 45 and some of these guys really need some help.

Cult?

If you are going to accuse others of being in a "cult" just because they voted for a candidate, then I certainly hope that you will own up to the fact that you belong to the Obama/Hillary cult.
