    Women have already come forward and had their lives destroyed. If the general public believed them during their trials, or honestly, if they weren’t intimidated into dropping their case, this shit would already be in prison.

    But the testimony of women is valued less by the justice system than the testimony of rich powerful men. That’s the problem. There is less trust in women overall, across the board in this patriarchal society.

      You’re not wrong, but I think “rich” and “powerful” carry a hundred times the weight in that sentence as “men”.
