You do realize you’re now making the same argument that Trump is currently making in defending men accused of abuse and harassment, right?
Am I?
Not really.
The White House is wrong to defend Porter but is right to not make a judgment on the matter and to emphasize the importance of due process. Validating the mob mentality is more dangerous than Trump’s statements.
Yeah tell that to all the women who are ignored…which is generally all of them. “The mob mentality” doesn’t exist unless it’s the mentality where women are liars.
How did that mob mentality work out for all the women who have accused Trump?
Increased awareness and pressure on law enforcement to do their jobs is great. The problem by-and-large has not been a belief that women are liars. It’s that powerful people have had the means to protect themselves and people with business or political interests abetted them. The believe all women/all women are liars dichotomy is idiotic.
Mob mentality is fine and dandy for political figures who are in office because we put them there.
