Anita Hill was the one who accused Clarence Thomas of sexual misconduct. Look what happened to her. The victim's name is erased, but the perpetrator prevails.
Things didn't change overnight. The road to equality is a long weary road. We are here today not because of a miracle, but because of the courage and tireless persistence of people over the decades who spoke up despite being silenced.
It is unfortunate how Clinton's allegations were dealt with. But liberals have not always spared their own. Look at the careers of Eliot Spitzer, Anthony Weiner, and Al Franken. And some conservatives did display their conscience when it came to Roy Moore.
Please let's not make this a political, liberal, or conservative issue - but treat it as a human issue.
===================================================================
Of course It shouldn't be made political, it should be a human issue but sadly the reality is anything but
The only reason this is happening is political, they're using it as a political weapon
If Hillary Clinton had won the election, HW and Harvey Weinstein scandals would never have been exposed
(He was a major donor, fundraiser for democrats, close friend of Clintons and Obamas)
There certainly would be no metoo movement
Now that the Clintons' political careers are over and weild no political influence, liberals from CNN to democratic senators and others are saying probably we should never have supported Clinton, should've believed his victims... How convenient!
Now they're saying any women should be believed, all we need is a single tweet from them about something that happened 10-30-50 yrs ago without a single proof and the man is guilty! Bcz women never lie?
It's all part of their narrative 😛
Justice Thomas still prevails bcz they couldn't prove the allegations against him despite their best efforts, despite the public lynching (his words) And before that JFK and Lyndon Johnson's numerous scandals were never even reported by the media despite it being common knowledge
So you are right things have changed
(And didn't to they try to arrest Rose McGowan on drug chargers, hope they were not trying to silence her)
