[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am disappointed with the level of misogyny shown on this thread.  It is ridiculous.  [/quote]

Questioning the veracity of someone's accusations, as well as the political motivations behind them, is not misogyny.[/quote]

+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.[/quote]

[b]This kind of incorrect simplifying is misogynistic.[/b] 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. [/quote]

No its not.  Misogyny is prejudice/contempt/ towards ALL women.  [/quote]

It is contempt of women that is causing people to ignore that her statement IS evidence. [b] In old English and American laws, the victim of any crimes of muggings, assault, robbery could have their testimony alone lead to a conviction.[/b] 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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

And what about Bill Cosby, Roy Moore, Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey, Adam Venit?
