Back in 2009, you took advantage of me. You cornered me in an elevator, touched yourself, then took me back to your room and had sex with me. I was too drunk to really remember anything.

Now, according to your own criteria, that is enough to convict you in the court of public opinion. You should have your career and reputation ripped to shreds. Anyone who questions the claim that I just made is a woman-hating misogynist. You should be shunned by your friends and never again invited to a professional function. I’ll bet that I can find a half a dozen other women who ‘remember’ you being a jerk and hitting on them inappropriately. (The more famous that you are, the easier it is to find names.)

And, because some men do take advantage of women who are drunk, it must be true. Women *never* lie about such a thing. Women never confabulate and exaggerate about rape/sexual harassment.

I used to work with a rape crisis center. I definitely saw real victims. But I also saw women who ‘weren’t sure’ if they’d been raped or not. I’d see a woman who began as mildly irritated as she told her story and watch as the ‘counselors’ absolutely convinced her that she’d been raped. I heard the stories morph as she ‘began to remember things’ that she hadn’t remember before. It was nothing less than brainwashing.

I also saw women referred to us who had actually reported. Even when they *admitted* that it hadn’t happened and that she was just out for revenge, they encouraged her to keep going forward and told her that she was in denial. (Some of these women realized that they really screwed up and wanted to recant, but the counselors would push them to go through with the process.)

This is why I left and one of the many reasons that I despise feminism. They do promote a victim mentality in women and a mistrust of all men.

We have a legal system for a reason, people. I will not accept vigilante justice or condemn a man who hasn’t been tried and convicted in a court of law.

(And let’s not forget the daycare/child molestation scandal that turned out to be complete hysteria. Lives were ruined by that incident and NOTHING happened.)
