But things become more clear when you change the categories.
How do you feel about “always believe the men”?
Or “Always believe the white person”?
Or “Always believe the person in authority”?
Or “Always believe the black person”?
There is a reason our court system evolved to work the way it does. When evidence must be produced to support claims, then you get less false claims, and are entitled to feel better about the ones which survive.
I do think that many men have gotten away with terrible crimes. I know several women who can say this. This is awful.
But it is also awful, as I’ve said, engineering a system in which women can blackmail and extort men any time they want, requiring only modest skill in dissimulation.
All women know that other women can be petty “triflin'” bitches. They fuck with each others minds continually. And so I can’t say it surprises me too much, although it does a little, how vehemently so many women have come out in support of Kavanaugh.
No ones career should be forced to hang at the end of a rope created by a few crocodile tears and a small bit of planning.
