@tmbrown327 this is horrible .. for one thing who could afford this? and why should her life be in danger ..the answer is trump and his unlawful presidency where he does everything he can to make everyone unsafe...
@catlynne333 The answer is the patriarchy, where any woman who would dare besmirch a man (especially a man in a position of power) must automatically be a lying, gold digging whore out for 15 minutes of fame. And if whatever she alleges happens to turn out true, it was her fault for leading him on/being drunk/not saying no/not quitting/not having a sense of humour/etc.
@kaehlys @tmbrown327 maybe women should go on a sex strike abstinence until men see the big picture.....
Won't work. We have hands and imaginations.
@code @kaehlys @tmbrown327 you might make it but i think most men would cave
@catlynne333 @tmbrown327 @kaehlys @code although it then feeds into the mysogynistic belief that women are 'gatekeepers' of sex and men are only driven by the desire/need for sex.
@kaehlys @tmbrown327 @catlynne333 true. I don't know what it's like today, but there are a few (now) adult men who would be in big shite were they to become public figures. I can think of several times where I was pinned, locked in, and assaulted, tho luckily never raped. They tried. In those days, good luck doing anything about it. It was this feeling of entitlement. At least where I grew up. (US) so I would infer. Dr Jones accusations are not far fetched
@karmac Same entitlement the world over. I've been cat called, groped, and had unsavoury suggestions made toward me. Born and raised in Australia.
@tmbrown327 Breaks my heart. That poor woman. We need to support her.
