Simple fact is a female just has to say it happened and you did it, immediately in the eyes of the gullible public via MSM you are guilty.
Good luck trying to prove you did not, does not matter there are no witnesses or evidence or the fact it happened 30+ years ago. I do believe a lot are true but there potentially is big money to be made by false claims. Guilty until you can prove otherwise is now the norm.

One of the key feminist ideas around these types of incidents is that we tend to blame the victim. While there is some truth to the idea, once an allegation is made, any other evidence is dismissed. Another problem is unspoken assumptions about who can be seen as a victim. It all adds up to women's voices being given more weight than men's.
I also wonder what is going on behind the scenes. Several female actors must have jumped in bed with Hervey Weinstein. I suspect he is keeping quiet in exchange for agreements not to sue. If he ever returns fire, I wonder what will come out. Posted by benk, Friday, 15 December 2017 8:09:25 PM

Many girls also give themselves away cheaply and then live with regret. Once they begin to hate men anything is possible. Truth is that their were/are many women willing to jump the queue by sleeping around while many men willing to take advantage. Secularism has absolutely no moral basis so why not is the obvious question.

how many more innocent men lose careers and futures over spiteful women Posted by runner, Friday, 15 December 2017 11:07:16 PM

Forget the female versus' male aspects of these cases, and THINK. The real issue here is the fact that 'innocent until proven guilty' has been reversed to 'guilty until proven innocent'. One of these women in America is reported as saying - after it was proved that something said in a college year book was downright incorrect- “Yes, but that doesn't prove his innocence”.
The comment could have been a Freudian slip, but given the loose-lipped and contemptuous attitude of feminists these days, it is more likely that men now have to prove their innocence, and the Feminazis can say whatever they like about emasculated men and get away with it. It is more than likely that, unless the battle axes are brought to heel, and made to respect the law, that this situation will apply to every alleged crime. How about throwing men in the water and, if they sink they are innocent, but if they float they are guilty! That's the sort of barbarism and witch-hunting these apologies for women want to return to. In the meantime, it is good to see Geoffrey Rush is going to put the law onto the female/s who have publicly accused him of offences, believing that they can get away with impugning his reputation publicly without due costs to themselves.
