What you, and others, seem to be doing is using news reports and drawing conclusions BEFORE ANY DUE PROCESS. Originally Posted by LexusLoverThey did the same thing for Balsy-Ford.
There is nothing wrong with believing one person and not believing another person based on the evidence available. Tara Reade's story has changed several times over the years, from a simple unwanted touching of shoulder and neck to fingers up her vagina. Did Ford change her story of sexual assault by Kavanaugh? I don't remember.
We don't know because we don't know what she told other people before she testified. But "evolving" stories are quite common in sexual assault cases.

5. Traumatic experiences scramble your memories: maybe you’ve misremembered what happened
Many people who have been raped or sexually assaulted often claim to have vivid memories of certain images, sounds and smells associated with the attack – even if happened decades earlier. Yet when asked to recall exactly what time of day it was, or who and what was where at any given time – the kinds of details police and prosecutors often focus on to establish the facts of a crime – they may struggle or contradict themselves, undermining their testimony.
“There is this tragic discrepancy between what is expected within the criminal justice system and the nature of trauma memories and how people are likely to be reporting them,” says Amy Hardy, a clinical psychologist at Kings College London.
I certainly agree that some Democratic women could certainly be guilty of being hypocrites.
OK, without projecting numbers, lets say ALL those Democrats, including the men like Biden who said women should always be believed
But to stand in silence, as many Democratic women are doing today and Republican women did in 2016 when allegations were made against Trump, is not wrong.

Biden & Byrd. What a handsome couple.
Recall that Byrd died shortly after kissing Hilary Clinton on the lips. And that was even before Muh Corona.

Again, you are either not listening and understanding what I'm saying or you don't care to admit what I am saying. True, there is nothing wrong with "standing in silence" before all the evidence is known and if all those Democrat women ( and men ) had stood in silence, offering no judgement till all the evidence was heard, I would have applauded that but that is not what the majority did. They offered condemnation based on one thing and one thing only, that all women should be believed regardless if they change there stories, Hell, even Biden said so! He said something to the effect that "even if they can't remember the details exactly" they should be believed. Is that what Biden or the "standing in silence" are saying now?I do not think that any person who alleges sexual misconduct should be automatically believed. Nor should they not be automatically believed.
No, it is not Originally Posted by HedonistForever
In my opinion anyone who says "All women must be believed" does not mean that a person accused of sexual misconduct be deemed guilty and have to prove innocence. It means that the allegations must be taken seriously and investigated as if they are telling the truth.

I believed Trump was innocent until proven guilty. Same for Kavanaugh. Same for Biden. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX
