Do you believe that victims of sexual harassment and assault should keep quiet?
Summersrain · 51-55, F
@Magnolia no but I think accusations that are not proven in court should not be smeared all over the media

@Summersrain How does that equal a witch hunt? A 'witch hunt' implies that people are being unfairly and wrongly accused. Just because something hasn't yet been proven in a court doesn't mean it's not true.

@Magnolia yes but a lot of time it isn't true. A lot of these women are just trying to blackmail money off famous guys. Look in the news. There's a new case almost every night

@Summersrain What's interesting is that you're saying it's a witch hunt to accuse men of sexual assault when talking about cases that haven't gone to trial. However you think it's OK to call these women blackmailing liars despite the cases not yet having gone to trial. Aren't you just as bad as these women you assume to be lying?
Summersrain · 51-55, F
@Magnolia maybe so. But I know when to call a spade a spade. I'm not saying all the men are innocent, but neither are all of the women

@Summersrain You've moved the goal posts. You're now saying that neither all men, nor all women are innocent. That wasn't what we were discussing.
Maybe you should ask yourself why you're so quick to believe that men who have been accused of sexual assault are just the innocent victims of greedy, lying women.

@Magnolia I'm not going to argue this with you anymore. The sheer fact of numbers of accusations in the past few weeks/months just doesn't seem that credible to me , that there are so many successful men in the public eye who would resort to such a thing. It seems like ordinary women would have a lot more to gain monetarily by tearing them down. But I don't think you are even reasoning with me anymore. You are just arguing to prove your point.

@Summersrain If you don't want to have this discussion then that's fine, I won't try to force you to have it. I can see that you're not in a position to accept what I'm telling you and that's OK.
I genuinely hope you have a good day.

@Magnolia yes we will have to agree to disagree. Have a good day.
