[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the saddest thread ever. Pages and pages of blaming the victim.  Makes me sick.[/quote]

It's actually worse than victim blaming. It's apologizing for a murderous, drunk, rapist.[/quote]

Remember: once upon a time--and, maybe still, she loved him.  He was the father of her children.

That complicates things.  So sad.

I have to admit that when the woman came out with the rape accusation from so many years before, I was doubtful.  The "me too" movement was going full blast then, but I know women who would lie.  (I am a woman.)  I would not have kept quiet for years about that.  Would I have gone to authorities as a very young woman?  Not sure.  I would now, but not sure I would have then.
Remember, the Duke Lacrosse case?  All lies that so many people accepted because they wanted to do so.  Same with Ford.  They wanted to believe her--even though there were so many holes in her story.
Remember the story about the woman who said Kav spiked drinks at parties?  Turned out to be totally bogus--and written by the same reporter who is currently reporting about Patel in the Atlantic.

My phrase would be:  "Listen to all women."  Not "believe."  Gently question them and check the facts.[/quote]

There was plenty of evidence against Kav that was buried. You sound like a Pickmesha. [/quote]

And yet, he handled those accusations with dignities, did not become an alcoholic, did not rack family debts, did not kill his wife in kids' presence. So many men faced accusations of sexual assault who went through the proper process to resolve it, including trials. [/quote]
