Do you mean that it's okay to disparage any woman makes an accusation? |
In a perfect world, nobody would be disparaged on the basis of mere accusations. That goes for those making them as well as those subject to the accusations. Obviously we don't live in a perfect world. But it is interesting to see that the most ardent defenders of women when it comes to the accuser are not much interested in defending women when they are the accused. At least in this case. |
PP here. Actually, I agree with you. Personally, I don't think accusations like these should be made publicly. For the kids' sake in any divorce situation, I think it should all be handled quietly--whether a public person or not. The only reason I posted that question is because the "her truth" concept has been taken to a ridiculous point. It's absurd to think that every female (or male) accuser is telling the truth or that every accused person is telling the truth. |

Will Omar and Tim go under oath to deny the affair? I doubt it. |
| I think they are ALL a mess. Plenty of blame to go around. Omar’s religion plays no part in how I feel about this situation or her in general. I only jump to her defense when the moron squatter in our White House tells her and other minority women to “go back” which is just flat out racist BS |
Tim already has, so your predictive powers are not that strong. |
Time will tell. If they become a hot item, I'm sure many will question when this romance began. And he was pressured? Lol Poor man "But Mynett, 38, claims his wife, 55, pressured him into getting married in 2012 after the birth of their son William in 2006 and said the unhappy marriage broke down because of their different parenting styles." https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2019/09/03/ilhan-omars-alleged-lover-tim-mynett-denies-having-affair/amp/ |
+1 There are a million details to be ironed out. Where's the investigative media? |
It's very likely that the people who are interested in defending Omar at the expense of the wife are Democrats. Which makes it interesting that Democrats are willing to doubt and disparage a woman who is claiming she has been done wrong by a cheating man. What factors go into deciding which women are to be believed? Is it because Omar is valuable and worthy of protection, while the wife clearly is not? Does it pay to be a member of a protected class in these situations? Why does Omar "trump" the wife for people who claim all women are to be believed? Intersectionality. It's tricky. |
It is possible to question the motives of the detractors of both women. How many of Omar's detractors are motivated by politics? Wouldn't a true supporter of women be equally supportive of her? I realize that there are posters like you who want to turn every thread into an attack on "liberals", but maybe take a break once in a while? If you are such a believer that women never lie, there are over 20 women making accusations against Trump. Do you support them as much as you support Dr. Mynett? I don't think either woman should be attacked. But apparently that means that I am protecting Omar. Why don't you accuse me of protecting Dr. Mynett? |
Well said. Both women should be treated in the same manner. AND Omar should be treated like other politicians - she doesn't get special treatment because she is a woman or Muslim. |
Conservatives don't hang their hat on "I Believe Her" (even when it doesn't add up) the way liberals do, therefore, there is more onus on liberals to live up to that self-identified ideal. Anyone being honest would admit feeling that burden. |
Exactly. The double standards are amazing. |
