“It takes incredible courage for an individual to come forward as this latest, as this one woman has”
If the charge is true, yes. If not, then she’s no more courageous than a castmember on the latest reality tv show. Then again, she could be no more courageous than a reality star if it’s true, too.
Our culture has a low standard for what constitutes courage.
In a perverse way it does, since the photo from a month ago and eyewitness testimony shows that Ms. Bialek was very comfortable hugging and putting her arm around Mr. Cain which makes her current statements almost impossible to believe.
It does take some kind of courage to go before the nation and tell a story which depends on no one remembering or photographing what you did a month ago.
