BRET STEPHENS'S DUBIOUS BELIEF SYSTEM

He goes on to write:

I believe that sexual assault is evil, but so is bearing false witness.

I believe women lie just as often as men do.

That might be true as a general rule, but does Stephens seriously believe that women lie just as often as men do about sexual assault? Do we need to explain yet again the men who lie about committing sexual assault will mostly be believed, while women who claim they've experienced it, whether they're telling the truth or not, will be subject to harassment, threats, and a smearing of their reputation?

The fact that feminism has altered that balance somewhat in the case of Kavanaugh and Blasey Ford -- a significant percentage of Americans suspect him and believe her -- doesn't change the traditional balance. Most men get away with not telling the truth about assaults they've committed. Most women who've reported assaults truthfully (or in some cases not truthfully) are assaulted once again by the system and become pariahs in the eyes of people who know them or know of them.

1. As in any situation or gender, lies and truth.

There are in some cases that women do lie. Same with men. History in the United States of America favor men, and therefore, men tend to get "away" with a lot of sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse.

Hubby's grandfather was in fact mentally abusive with this wife. I witnessed it one day, where my mouth and eyes got wider. Father-in-law said they were use to it.

Grandmother out lived her husband, but the abuse took it's toll. Depression set in.

Speak up. I support Dr. Ford.

2. You can "believe" in the tooth fairy but that doesn't make her real

Fuck that bullshit. This idea that there is no truth and it's all a matter of 'belief' is dangerous territory and we need to get the fuck outta there.
