Humans will be humans. Show me any example of a profound reckoning by society with an extreme wrong where the pendulum doesn't over shoot the mark. No question we're seeing a lot of that.

Because of that your view seems to be that the reckoning itself is bullshit. If a woman can't defend herself in the moment with a swift kick, too bad for her. And emotional trauma and intimidation keeping a victim quiet? That's horse-hockey! These chicks are all just attention hounds!

I mean, why even bother having laws against rape? If the pathetic little chick can't extricate herself, she deserves what she gets!

For that matter, why bother having laws at all! We'll just let the society arrange itself based on who kicks who's ass best! Yeah baby!

I assume you don't actually think that way, but I see no other way to look at your posts on this. If the pendulum swings too far the other way; if even one alleged victim can be exposed as an opportunistic lying scumbag, the whole thing is bullshit and needs to be ignored.

The Barton thing seems to be bullshit. The Conyers thing seems to be evidence of institutional, tax payer funded processes to silence accusers trying to step forward. You can't look at each case on its own merits? You are only capable of generalizations?

Or is it that you'd really prefer the status quo? Societies that facilitate the powerful preying on the vulnerable. Why can't we work on getting to a balanced place, where all our daughters are far less likely to have futures relying on their willingness to acquiesce to the demands of sexual predators?
