“If you think Cosby is innocent you think 50 Women lied.
If you think Ghomeshi is innocent you think at least 9 women lied.
If you believe that women gang together to create false rape accusations to bring down famous men, you hate women. It’s honestly that easy.” - Anne Thériault

“If you think the 7 students at UVA who Jackie Coakley accused of gang rape are innocent, you think at least 7 men lied and you hate men. It’s honestly that easy.”

It’s not a problem when women are actually abused. The problem is when they lie through their teeth and ruin peoples’ lies for attention. If you want to bring down someone who has gotten away with these awful actions, fine. Do what you can. But if you’re trying to frame someone or a group of people for your own selfish desires, that’s when it becomes a problem. There is nothing wrong with being skeptical about these claims ESPECIALLY when you’re thinking about it legally.

Just because I question different cases doesn’t make me a misogynist. If the roles were reversed, I’d want to know if 9 guys lied about a women raping a man too. It’s just that these people who are being accused are always considered innocent until proven guilty.
