One of the problems here is, how do you prove that he raped her, after all this time? I am by no means defending Weinstein, but it seems to be pretty easy for women to accuse men of sexual harassment and even rape, without any proof. How do you know when it is true, and when a woman is making a false accusation?

It's a good point. These women would have needed to file charges right after the crimes occurred, which they were too afraid to do.

‘How do you know when it is true, and when a woman is making a false accusation’

Well, the Rule of Thumb WAS ‘if the allegation is made against a Republican, it is true. If the allegation is made against a Democrat, whether true or not, it is ignored’. Frankly, I am shocked that this story is so big, as it involves ALL DEMOCRATS, on both sides of the issue.

You are hitting the nail on the head.

What man in his right mind will want to hire and work closely with women if they can be tarred decades later as a rapist or abuser?

Thank God I have a job that keeps me out of an office environment.
