I sit here in utter shock and complete despair that it’s come to this…
The sad thing it’s not the first time I’ve seen a forum like this, and I fear it won’t be the last.
I don’t know how to deal with this. It’s one of those situations where I watch this, and the desire to weep and rage at the same time overwhelms me. It’s heartbreaking that there are people who can utterly get lost in the Fox News-ification of life.
As Frank pointed out in the video, they are “absolutely” willing to believe that all 9 of these women are lying because they’ve been paid off. All of them. No thought to giving even one of them the benefit of the doubt.
Like I said, weeping and raging. All at the same time.
I have a 13 year old daughter right now, and I am scared to death at the lack of compassion for the women who are victims of sexual assault. What kind of world are we leading these children into? How can I teach her (hell, convince her) to speak up when it’s being proven day after day to her that people will NOT believe her? That people will blame HER? That people will look at her like she was asking for it? That she should be flattered, and I as a parent should be grateful and proud, that a prominent man is interested in her…while she tries to get through the 8th grade?
Because, after all, clothes were still on. Sickening.
Even other women. That’s what floors me. In the video above, other women flat-out say that it’s the accusers' fault. (By the way, someone should share with the lady in the video that “I blame both of them” really does mean YOU ARE BLAMING HER.)
Apparently, being a sexual predator is perfectly fine as long as you (purportedly) stand for good Christian, Conservative values.
Whatever the fuck that means anymore.
