i don't see a reason to be skeptical. I see a woman that sat on it 4 years ago now unburdening herself. Not much to gain here at all and quite a large risk with the maga crowd
I agree with you. No one can really know her motives. I do believe it is difficult for us to understand the psychological impact such an episode can have on a woman particularly in terms of their own personal security. I am constantly reminded that women live in a completely different world in terms of their personal security than men do. Obviously no one can speak to her circumstances but she may have carried this hurt for these many years and it needed to come out for her own mental well being. We can give her that benefit of doubt considering the serial perpetrator who is the antagonist of her story.
Why do women need a motive other than to see their assaulter pay for the crime that was committed? I don't care if it happened yesterday or 50 years ago, these dirt bags should pay for their crimes. Our culture, until recently gave all the power to the men to force their victims to remain quiet. Well times have change and now women see that they finally have a chance at justice. That is the only motive needed.
I don't disagree with any of this. However, Dorris waited 22 years until the eve of an election to decide to pursue justice. There have been multiple women making similar accusations; she could have come forward with her story after seeing the courage these other women demonstrated.
because she watched those other women get raked over the coals, have death threats against them and their family as well as watching right wing media and the Trump campaign call them whores, liars, attention seekers and worse? Now she see's her 13 year old daughters and she thinks you know what this isn't what I want them to do in the same situation so screw it I am going public
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but the only thing that has changed is the age of Dorris' daughters. Far be it from me to know what motivates a woman, but this makes zero sense to me. To use your words, she has set herself up to be called a whore, liar, attention seeker, and worse. She and her thirteen year old girls (are they twins?) may receive death threats, again using your words. Is she thinking she is going to be a heroine in her daughters' eyes? Dorris already knows justice is not going to be served. Every other woman who has issued a public complaint has come up empty. If you want something from Trump, blackmail is your best avenue.
yeah, not trying to argue it eitherI'm not trying to be argumentative, but the only thing that has changed is the age of Dorris' daughters.

My daughter will be thirteen on September 27. I sure hope my wife didn't cross paths with Trump in '98 and I don't know about it.
