Probably because women who for decades never spoke up are now feeling they can with the me too movement. I’m not nieve, there are going to be a very very small percentage of women who will make false accusations to get even or for some other alterior motive, but in light of how society has treated those coming forward in the past; I beating the majority will by legit.

I get all that, but it still doesn't mean that he's not wrong.

And what is an acceptable percentage of false accusations?

Well if you look back through history, it was a terrifying time to be a Native American, then can you imagine being black loaded like cord wood headed to America, then women had their turn, maybe it’s time for men; especially men who have abused their power.

You left out the Jews, pretty sure they've had a rough go of things in the past.

or the Kulaks in Russia

i'm pretty sure the "Federation" wasn't about swapping out one class of people, to treat like chit, for another class.

I don't think that's how justice is supposed to work

But you still treat each case on its merits. The fact that Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton were guilty, doesn't mean Kavanaugh is probably guilty.

The burden is on the accuser, always, and that's exactly how it should be.
