Sorry survivors. Not every claim of sexual assault is equal

As per Michigan's Gov Whitless. Even CNN is looking worried.

The #metoo movement is a joke.I love how it's come back to bite the left.They are worried and rightly so.

I wouldn't have said every claim is unequal but otherwise the problem is what exactly? She feels every victim should be heard and vetted. She believes Biden is innocent. And? And why do we care what the governor thinks anyway unless we live in Michigan.

How quickly people no longer #believewomen now that the accused is a Democrat.

Democrats will not get away with this disgusting display of hypocrisy.

Oh yeah. Biden’s perverted old ass is going to get dragged to trial. I cant wait to watch all the #metoo fembots lose their shit.

Not everything is goddamned politics. I was willing to assume Cavaugh or however it's spelled, was innocent. If Biden is proven to be a pervert then I'll be the first to say so. But like Cavaugh we assume innocent until proven guilty. Trump is certainly not innocent either. And again...Why should I worry what a governor of a state I don't live in has to say? If Biden gets before a judge then I'll listen to what HE or SHE says.

I wish the #metoo movement had been that women should be heard rather than believed but subtile messaging is never effective in a movement. The fact that Reade is being heard in 2020 is commendable - she wouldn't have been in prior years. That doesn't mean that she should automatically be believed. Her case is weak and should be judged accordingly. Again, IMO, #believewomen was misguided but necessary. Extremes often are. #listentowomen would have been more appropriate but not nearly as strong a message.

Valid point. Nuances count.

This is a good point. Never thought of that.

The #metoo movement was never about women, or even victims.
It was always about destroying political opponents.
