I absolutely HATE Trump and everything he stands for, and rapists can burn in hell, but we need to remain morally consistent about what we’re advocating for. It’s not okay to assume mob mentality just because it happens to be for your side this time, even if you are right on the facts. We are supposed to be building a just and fair society
I think it’s def more possible they assaulted her over regret. Even if she consented, she was fucked up beyond reasonable doubt and those boys knew so, I rather believe the victim over the innocents of those boys. Bc they knew they were exploiting her, no matter the circumstances, and deserve prison for that.
IF (with an extra big IF here because I’m truly not trying to argue definitively for either side) this was a case of consensual promiscuity with later regret, is it really that hard to believe an asshole frat bro would use “free p***y” in that situation as well? It’s only *as* damning as you’re acting when you pre-assume guilt
And again: these particular men may very well be guilty, and I’m not advocating for any automatic *dis*belief of women either. The majority of allegations ARE true, but that doesn’t make the also real portion that are false any less of a problem, when each of them is potentially devastating to the life of a real human being. Of course the same applies in reverse for women who are victims. My argument is for due process and suspending final judgement until you have all the facts, thats it
