"She just wants fame and attention..."
Woman reports years after the attack.
"Why did she wait so long?!"

1. They should be the loudest voices clamoring to be heard

Not cheering when no due process is given. They should be calling for all of these folks to face justice not a mob mentality unless we have completely given up on the law.

They should be clamoring for their day in court to take their oppressors to task.

My ears are open but what I am hearing is a mob not a call for justice.

2. Maybe because I'm older.. a forced kiss from a man, a grab of flesh at the waist

these are not the same as pedophilia and rape.

I am female but not convinced by the wave of anger because degree is not being taken seriously.
Everything is being broad brushed.

4. Agreed. N/t

3. Thought this would be about those who equate horndogs who like women

with those who specifically don't and prey on them. But, there are many conundrums.

I disagree, btw, with those who are demeaning women by portraying all those come on to as victims, even happily consenting and conjoining women. Right now talking heads are equating Bill Clinton, whose zipper problem is inextricably combined with a genuine liking of women, with scumdog, creep, hostile predator Senator Bob Packwood, whose behavior was so appalling that he was forced to resign when no one else was back in the 1990s.
