there was one of them, i dont remember who, that had one single woman accusing him of rape this one time in the 80's, and he came out to say that he didn't understand, as to him she had vry clearly consented
it's the only case where I was like "huh" - not "huh, she might be lying" but "huh, I wonder if he really didn't understand" or somethign
the issue here is that everytime there's an accusation and you try to give them the benefit of the doubt, suddenly three or five other unrelated women pop out of the woodwork and say the same thing. then it becomes a pattern, and when there's a pattern you can hardly call it a witchhunt
I guess if they do it once they'll do it again? it's the repeated nature of these behaviours that stands out so much to me. all accusations with the exception of that one first case that i cant remember who have been repeated by several women
so I guess when it starts boiling down to hearsay or "that one time he was kinda gross to me" the scenario will change, but so far that doesnt seem to be the case
