The Bill Cosby allegations reflect an evolving American understanding of the crime of sexual assault, and increased empathy toward those claiming to be victims, say victim advocates.

One one hand women want to be assigned to submarines, participate in hand to hand combat, be a firefighter, etc., demand equal pay for "equal" work, and are so macho that they demand to be totally interchangeable with men to the extent of same sex marriage.

On the other hand they want men to be put so far back in jail that they have to pump in air so they can breathe, if women accuse them of rape, molestation, or "talking dirty."

There is so much on macho women in the news, it makes me wonder why such old allegations are given so much press?

I am getting tired of seeing women coming out of the woodwork to complain that something happened to them because they are powerless. (Do they smell the money?) And then go on and demand that they are to be treated equal to men. The word "selective" has to go in that sentence somewhere.

Juanita Broaddrick?

When it comes to rape, the 1997 Paula Jones lawsuit brought forward Juanita Broaddrick, who told us of being raped in 1978 by Bill Clinton, and most of us believe her.

In 2005, Andrea Constand, director of operations for Temple University’s women’s basketball team (Cosby’s college, and one he still sat on the board of) filed a lawsuit against cosby after claiming that he had drugged and raped her in 2004, 13 women came forward to describe their own sexual assaults from him, mostly druggings and rape. Cosby settled out of court in 2006.

The DA said that he felt that Cosby was guilty, but that by the time she went to police a year after the rape, there wasn’t enough evidence to go to court with in a criminal trial.
