Why would *9* women accuse a man of rape? Do you really believe women want to spend their time this way? That we conspire like this, about something so traumatic, having to do with our bodies, and in public? This isn’t something groups of women do or want to do.

You’re not alone. Those friends are not friends, and you couldn’t have stopped yours from doing it to other people - don’t shoulder that responsibility. Focus on recovering, and making your life work again for you. X

She might. We don’t know her life.

It’s the tiniest of details in this story but I really hate when people accused of crimes against women call it a “witch hunt”. I get that they’re using the metaphorical sense of “looking for something that isn’t there” but words have history and an actual witch hunt was a systematic undermining of women and their…

HOLD THE COCK!

At this point, I believe the person of lesser power. I’ve known too many asshole rapist types in my long life to give any of them the benefit of the doubt anymore. As my husband and I discussed just last night: 1. It’s no longer he said/she said. It’s she screwed up her courage and laid her life/career/societal…

Yeah, a millionaire would never spend money on attorneys to intimidate other victims. Never happened. Ever.

Smears without substance cannot work. But how often does an alleged smear turn out to bring out more and more victims? The phony protection racket men have been used to is beginning to break down and may not hold much longer.

You best be careful. You said he wasn’t funny. As a comedian he would consider that to be libel, plus it was just hearsay. Looks like he’s got his next case.

I crewed on a few short films a few years ago starring Aaron Glaser. Got a totally creepy vibe from him.

The hoops that men - not even those who are accused of rape, but just those who want to defend rapists - jump through, amazes me.

So weird that HUNDREDS of false rape accusations are happening to this poor little snowflake. I’ve never even had one false rape allegation. Either he’s really unlucky, or wait, do you think ...

I see a lot of people in the comments saying if you’re going to call someone a rapist, you better have proof. While I agree in spirit, what are we considering proof? From what I understand, multiple women have independently accused this guy of rape. While that’s technically hearsay, in that I didn’t personally hear…

I was just commenting on this in another article. I can appreciate that that would be heart-poundingly daunting, seeing a lawsuit coming at you for such ridiculous amounts of money, but I think Pierce is right, you have to get the word out there or they’re just going to get away with it for decades.
And the bitching…

Great article. I work in corrections. It’s simple. There’s always some guilt by the perp if he places himself time and time again in numerous situations. I hope social media puts the fear in these violaters.

Eta: Okay, I went to another site and finally deciphered what happened.

I’m right there with you. A good narrative conveys and evokes emotions. If the main reaction that you evoke in half or more of your readers, is disgust - I call that an EPIC FAIL.

This is what happens when victims know they have no hope of justice through the legal system.

So..... gentlemen....(and some ladies) this is why women do not always speak up.

Send in a tip! Now would be a really cool time to run a story along the lines of: Looking for other ways to spend your money Jezzies? Here’s a list of great books, events, theatre, boardgames, etc. that are run by, developed by, feature fully developed female characters, etc.
