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.

Indeed.

They are so mind controlled by the MSM, they forgot they sold themselves to a political party that's headed by the none other than accused rapist Bill Clinton. Only President ever impeached for lying about sexually abusing a young White House intern.

And it goes downhill from there.

No evidence of abuse in the matter. Strictly consensual sex. And he was guilty of lying under oath for which he should have been and was punished.

And there is no evidence he ever raped anybody. Standard right wing myth. And there is not even a trace of evidence that Hillary was anything other than appalled by his behavior.

We have a long history of President's who were womanizers. Seems to go with the job. Only recent ones free of it appear to be Obama and Carter.
And it may simply be too soon for it to have come out about Obama.

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 am not blaming women for being raped. I am not going to go on the defense with this. There's stupid and then there's stupid. I used to come home very late at night back in the time I was in my 20's I would sometimes see women out at 3 am alone. Is it their fault if they get raped? No. Was it a good idea to put themselves in that area at 3 am alone? Same reason I don't go to the South side of Chicago. So I don't get shot.

Well this tread was blown up. Seems more women coming out with issues about Kavanagh. Plus Aveneti (Stormy lawyer) has come out saying he has some clients who also had problems.

Time for Kavanagh to walk away.

Basically the lesson is, if you want some guaranteed booty go for a republican chick. She won't scream even if she don't want it.

You are way out of touch. Wherever you get your information from is faulty.

Bill Clinton does not 'head up', lead or control the Democratic Party. The fact that you would even make such a claim should embarrass you.

That post wasn't faulty information, it was alternative facts.

I wonder if WK's real name is Kellyanne.

'Alternative facts' in politics is analogous to 'creative accounting' in business.

They are both fraud.
