Dead on. I think he’s currently the darling of those who feel the old social order is being swept aside and replaced by a newer more progressive one. It is always being swept aside and replaced, often by a newer more progressive one, always has been of course.
There’s a cult of overreaction to the most extreme and hilarious members of the feminist movement, often straw women or actual women accused saying things they never actually said. (All sex is rape, everything is rape, the patriarchy is so evil and oppressive that you, I and all men are guilty by proxy and for the sin of having a Y chromosome etc.)
Those guys, and the women who support them love a fight like this, they can take comfort in the idea that all these ‘promiscuous heathen’ women are lying and seeking to profit from these accusations. Given his celebrity status, and the likelihood he’s had contact and likely sex, with at least one seriously damaged lost soul of a woman, I won’t be surprised if one of the accusers turns out to be lying, or a liar comes forth at some point. Though I think we should probably feel sorry for her rather than attack her when that happens.
None of that changes the fact that it seems almost certain he’s been doing this, THIRTY human beings have accused him of raping them. What exactly is the chance they are all lying? This dates back for years, and while his lawyers deny it, and I have no direct knowledge of any of this.
If the man had sex with far more than thirty women, most of whom were clearly being simply used and taken advantage of by his position of power in their lives, shouldn’t that alone be enough to label him a monster?
The false accusations of rape I am aware of in my actual life are all tragic lies to cover up some horrible behavior on the part of the accuser, in the case where the accused is named he was involved in that behavior, although not in a sexual assault (Theft and adultery, she didn’t want to get caught, also he was apparently ‘cheating’ on her with another woman he wasn’t married to either.)
Or because the woman had gotten pregnant outside of her marriage. (Twice, no actual rapist was named, but it happened to her twice, she’s either the unluckiest person alive or these are two more lies, since the poor girl is a pathological liar, and nearly continuously unfaithful to her husband, the idea she’s lying seems sadly plausible,)
I think those two cases are probably typical of false accusations of rape. How on earth would the man have time to get tangled up thirty such situations? If he’s even sane at all how could he have spent so much time with thirty women who were so awful they would accuse him of raping them?
Falsely accused once? Unlikely in real life, but for a huge celebrity who knows thousands of people and is known by millions? Possible, twice? Well, less likely but the second might just be seeking to piggyback on the first. Three times stretches belief, especially since he was once a beloved public figure, this isn’t a man who bragged about his sexual conquests and lived a rock star life, in the public’s mind at least he wasn’t.
Thirty times? More likely a meteorite will strike nearby and the blast wave will deliver not one, but two winning lottery tickets softly and safely to my front porch between now and the time I’m done with this post.
