[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 372167, member: 35"] What the heck, I'll take it then! Personally speaking, I'm just expressing the idea that it's hard to know who to trust. Women can be incentivized to come forward and make these allegations. Sometimes it's to benefit themselves, and other times it's at the behest of others. It's happened before, and what really compounds the issue is that the alleged encounters usually happened years (often decades) prior. Then you have laws that are created to revoke the statute of limitations under special conditions, and the cases end up meeting those conditions. It's hard to think of a strong reason someone would frame Masterson other than a means to take on the Church of Scientology. It gets easier with polarizing and controversial figures like Brand, Julian Assange, and Brett Cavanaugh. Again, it doesn't mean their accusers [I][B]are [/B][/I]lying, but I can't say that I firmly believe them either. As I said before, I don't want to see rapists go free even if I agree with them politically. Sadly, human nature prevents me from being able to completely trust every potential victim that comes along. #MeToo ultimately did more harm than good. Too many narcissists perverted the movement and made it about taking down men at any cost, due process be damned. And thanks to a lack of reading comprehension skills and an understanding of nuance, some people conflate everything I just said with making a "pro-rapist argument." [/QUOTE]
