The rather insipid and illogical slogan “Believe All Women” rose to prominence during the #MeToo movement, gaining momentum during Justice Kavanaugh’s turbulent and dramatic Supreme Court nomination hearings. While some see the phrase as an attempt to encourage accusations to be taken seriously and in good faith, more often than not it has become a lazy retort to the criticism of any form of accusation made by a women in public life. Those who dare to question the legitimacy of such accusations, or request evidence before leaping to judgement, are silenced as servants of toxic masculinity fueled by a desire to “silence” women.
On its face, the phrase “Believe All Women” is just as absurd as the phrase “Believe All Men” when used to infer reliability without the need for evidence. Indeed, the measurement of truthfulness based upon gender is just as ridiculous as calling for people to “Believe All White People” or “Believe All Black People.” Scientists have yet to discover such a genetic predisposition to honesty or dishonesty, and this claim of sex-based rectitude becomes even more questionable when many of the same people who cry “Believe All Women” also demand that we accept that gender is a meaningless social construct. If women can be men, and men can be women, what does “Believe All Women” even mean?
What makes the broader “Believe All Women” movement even harder to take seriously is their strange penchant for choosing women who are proven liars to stand as proof that women cannot possibly lie. The ultimate example of such an oxymoronic beacon of truth is Elizabeth Warren, who has been trying to stir the wave of “Believe All Women” into a tsunami, with Bernie Sanders’ campaign in her sights.
In a geriatric scandal which no-one had any desire for, Elizabeth Warren leaked a story from 2018 which alleged that Bernie Sanders told the Massachusetts Senator that “he did not believe a woman could win” the presidency. After Bernie Sanders categorically denied these allegations, CNN displayed their famous bipartisan integrity by assuming the premise that Warren’s claims were true. Warren then received rapturous praise for “handling sexism” after she refused to shake Bernie Sanders’ hand, indignantly stating “I think you just called me a liar on national TV.”
The important point to note here is the unfair advantage which Warren and her supporters are attempting to leverage over her apparent friend Bernie Sanders, where she is free to make accusations of sexism (without evidence) while concurrently refusing to allow Sanders to even rebut these accusations. The issue is not whether or not this alleged interaction occurred, but why evidence is inconsistently ignored in favor of illogical assumptions of gender-based integrity in the cynical pursuit of political advantage.
In a just world, the validity and reliability of such accusations are judged based upon evidence (for which Elizabeth Warren has none), and the character of the accuser and the accused. The brutal fact is that Elizabeth Warren is a proven liar. She falsely claimed to be of Native American heritage for decades for career and political gain, even plagiarizing her supposed Cherokee seafood recipe for a 1984 cookbook “Pow Wow Chow”...from the land-locked state of Oklahoma. Nevertheless, we are told that we must “Believe All Women!” What about when Elizabeth Warren stated that her children went to public schools when she was confronted by pro-charter school protesters, despite the fact that her son “mostly attended private schools?” Still, we must “Believe All Women!” Finally, what about her claims that she was fired from a teaching position because she was “visibly pregnant,” despite an earlier interview which seemed to contradict her claims?
We are currently being dragged down a very dangerous path which is leading us away from true equality and towards the political monopolization of subjective and cynical inequality. Unless we push back against the sexist notion that we can deduce honesty from gender alone, characters like Elizabeth Warren will continue to intentionally profit from its application.
Let’s try and return to a world where honesty is judged based on evidence and history of character, rather than whether or not the accuser has a vagina and the accused has a penis.
Good points in the article. What constitutes a woman these days? Whatever happened to a person’s character being judged?
And who the heck started trusting women to begin with??
:)
She’s a demoncrat...that’s all that matters. All other issues are forgiven.
I learned at the young age of 16 about females and lies.
Just watched my buddy’s wife destroy their 15 year marriage with lies.
Then to save try and save it, she says she was lying when she told him she was having sex with several other men, including her boss.
No one believes a word she says, now she’s all by herself in lonely house with no men to manipulate, and has a very nice man cave with no man in it.
Too bad, so sad!
WarrenIdiot is a psychological habitual liar, believe all women my arse!.......!!!
My default settings:
Everyone is lying.
Nobody really cares.
Eventually, I will be discarded.
The Vikings will never win the super bowl
That’s terrible.
Ah, but if she’s even semi attractive there are many men’s lives she has yet to destroy.
She’ll never be a happy person though.
Good.
I hope your buddy is doing well.
I learned at 15. This girl Jackie was Crazy about me.
We made out at the skating rink :)
Then one day about 4 months later she stopped returning my calls.
I didn’t yet understand that you could just stop liking someone one day.
And that’s ok, it happens.
But she cheated, told some YUGE guys on the football team that I talked about them (I did, but still lol), and hit on my cousin, who thought it would be hurtful to tell me!!!
Then at 30 I was engaged to a girl that was Already engaged to a sailor! Dam near killed me.
Spent a Fortune on another because I thought with kisses instead of my brain (this is a G rated board!)
I’m so depressed now. Where’s that dam bottle of JD?
Thanks alot Chris!!
:)
How can it NOT include Juanita Broadrick?
Juanita Broadrick didn’t run for political office. She was raped by Bill Clinton.
Sounds like a bad strategy. And, staying around the old neighborhood compounds it.
To me, she represents present day Harvard and the Dimbulbcrat Party. They are comparable to an 80’s GM car - plastic instead of chrome, absolutely no engineering quality, with the durability of a CNN newscast. Oh, and fugly, too.
Interesting, is it not, that the women that represent that party are almost 100% despicable.
Here, my friend, JD is too manly for me, but I can offer you this delicious early morning Abita Andygator beer!
Let me tell you, I have never in my life seen a woman be so abusive to a man, and that does include physically, punched him right in the face man style. She wasn’t even his friend, but rather his constant adversary.
Heard her with my own ears on the phone to another man in Ohio telling him how her husband beats her, which was totally false.
I was like, homey, she is buttering up some other dude to come here and handle you. Get away from her.
And he did.
As best as I can tell, over the past two years where I have known both of them quite well, her strategy seems to be to completely destroy her life and the lives of those around her.
She’s 43 years old and so full of rage, anger and misery.
She is what we call a shrew.
First, a beer with over TWICE The average alcohol content of an average beer is pretty dam strong!
Second, what a Horrible story!
Thank God he got away.
I watched a documentary only last week where a woman told her ex boyfriend that the current one was abusing her (a lie).
The guy Killed the new boyfriend!!
For some of us, our brains don’t work right when it comes to women!
His brain when it comes to women can be a bit problematic. Despite her behavior to him, which is so much worse than what I even described here already, he still loves her.
But yeah, that’s what i told him. She is setting you up for a hard fall. Run as fast as you can.
I bet it’s worse than you have told me. Much worse.
Much worse.
She sounds manipulative and that can be life threatening to your friend.
I’m 51 and my brain is finally starting to work better when it comes to women.
The 51 year old brain sees many things better than even the 40 year old brain.
Too bad it took so long. :)
I hope your friend meets another woman that is great or is just happy on his own.
Woman is a genetic thing that obviously can be recognized. Lady is an increasingly smaller subset of women.
Juanita Broadrick didn’t run for political office. She was raped by Bill Clinton.
Well now I know there’s at least two of us who believe her!
Now we need to work on believing all the women who say that Hildabeast bullied them into silence about Bill’s other transgressions.
Because Indians are not counted!
Can you imagine President Trump's response to Feauxohontas confronting him after a debate?
