it's sad you think hating women is just common sense this is why republicans are polling so well among women. you've made your bed. or probably your wife made your bed and then you yelled at her for not doing it well enough. |
Questioning the veracity of someone's accusations, as well as the political motivations behind them, is not misogyny. |
Thank you for proving my point, I guess. |
+1 PP--I think there may be just one--refuses to understand this. If a woman accuses a man one dislikes she must be believed. |
This is tiresome. There are multiple posts here that are flat out misogynistic. |
This kind of incorrect simplifying is misogynistic. Take an allegation of assault and attempted rape down to that is misogynistic. Women are done with this. DONE. We need more representation in congress so that this kind of crap is voted out. |
And this is why the White House spiked the FBI’s investigation. The FBI does investigate cold cases and they frequently can come to conclusions. Why didn’t they allow an investigation? McConnell had held a Court seat open for how long? There was no rush. These two facts - that the FBI can conduct investigations of decades old crimes and be able to come to accurate conclusions and there was no rush for the seat - suggest to me that not only was Christine Blasey Ford’s account correct, but that an investigation might have revealed additional similar crimes. |
No its not. Misogyny is prejudice/contempt/ towards ALL women. |
It is contempt of women that is causing people to ignore that her statement IS evidence. In old English and American laws, the victim of any crimes of muggings, assault, robbery could have their testimony alone lead to a conviction. It was MISOGYNY that rape was the exception. In the 1970s the law was changed in the US so that rape could be considered like the other crimes - there no longer HAD to be a direct witness to the crime. And you know who spoke out against that law change? Misogynists who claimed that women were untrustworthy. It is misogynistic to say "If a woman accuses a man one dislikes she must be believed." It is minimizing sexual assault, and it is implying once again that women cannot be trusted. It is okay to not believe the evidence against Kavanaugh - it is MISOGYNISTIC to claim there was no evidence. |
Many of the people responding to you seem to be women who are not accepting your tired memes of misogyny. WNt this kind of crap done away with 1. Don’t get blackout drunk or stoned at parties and expect men to respect you 2. Don’t accuse men of rape and then continue an extra marital affair with them 3. Don’t dilute the seriousness of rape by accusing every man who doesn’t call you the day after consensual sex of tape Women around the world endure rapes daily. Don’t diminish their suffering by turning a 30 year old dubious sexual assault into a rape. If you care about women, you would cut the crap. |
And because of the way that Old English courts were run, is precisely why the Fifth Amendment was passed. It's a good thing, too. Look at the other accusers that ended up saying that they lied (one was a man). Look at the Duke lacrosse case. That accuser was "believed" at first and it ended up to be a lie. Ruined those families' lives. |
It’s horrifying. And they dress it up as “common sense.” |
Your whole post is so riddled with misogyny you can’t even see it. |
And what about Bill Cosby, Roy Moore, Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey, Adam Venit? |

PP, you would be a terrible juror. You believe testimony is sufficient to convict in the absence of any corroborating evidence even though the testimony itself is riddled with gaps with regard to large details and inconsistencies with regard to small details.
When the testimony is that poor, you need some kind of corroborating evidence. CF had none--her best friend said she recalled no such party even though there is a lot of evidence she was pressured to say otherwise. There was not one person who stepped forward to say she told them about it at the time. In addition to which, it is not difficult to infer CF had political motives for reporting this to Feinstein. This is a weak, weak case. I certainly hope to never have you on my jury. And having been on several I can say pretty certainly you'd be that one that all the other jurors complain about. |
