Some people are just sorry enough to use these accusations as a weapon, which is why we can't automatically believe every accusation. The evidence must be weighed carefully.
Currently watching the Chris Hardwick story unfold too. That one is weird because it's a former ex-girlfriend but the online mob immediately pulled out pitchforks based on an essay written by a potentially jilted ex-girlfriend. It's crazy to me how quickly a story like this can do major damage to someone whether it's true or not and how many people make their minds up 100% before all of the information is out there.
And a lot of women have no problem accusing men of rape (knowing full well of the potential consequences) to get their way. Also, a lot of women have zero problem using their bodies to get their way as well. I had a friend of mine who was working interstate patrol (MS Highway Patrolman) in my home town. He pulled a car over for speeding, not knowing who the person in the car was. As he got closer to the vehicle he realized he'd pulled over a woman he and his wife knew who lived in their neighborhood. This lady (and her husband) had a good reputation throughout the community as being upstanding people. He approached the car and told her he was sorry but he was going to have to write her a ticket for speeding. In an attempt to get out of the ticket the lady slid her skirt up above her unmentionables and asked "Is there anything I can do to get you to not write that ticket?". Here you have an upper middle class married woman with children willing to "turn a trick" to get out of a speeding ticket. My friend warned her about attempting to bribe an officer, wrote her the ticket and walked off. He said (and obviously so) he never looked at that woman the same. I think many times we have this mental image of the "type" people who do this. But in reality, people (in this case an upper middle class wife and mother of children) from all walks of life do it. Regarding the false rape issue, there needs to be severe penalties and jail time for any woman falsely accusing a man of rape.
This is crazy he is losing everything because some one he dated for 3 years is saying he controlled her. For years he made her lay there and have sex. I am not sure where this is going to end. Anyone can look back and say I really didn't want to have sex all the time during a relationship even a man. I am stunned he was suspended for this. The man has moved on happily married with a kid on the way.
I had been hoping for/expecting this result. It seemed completely out of character & more like a jilted ex out for revenge. Especially after pretty much all of his other ex-girlfriends came out & said they experienced nothing like that & some strange lies/changes/old info coming out on the accuser.
Better watch your step, gentlemen....or as Austin Powers says......
