text: You know, this is supposed to be an age in which women consider themselves as men's equals.  Movies now glorify fights in which a woman takes down legions of men in hand-to-hand combat.  On the other hand, we see these claims of wrongdoing from conveniently far enough back in time so that there is no hope whatsoever of obtaining convincing evidence to prove or disprove allegations.  When asked why the reports and allegations are delivered so long after the incidents, inevitably the women suggest that they were afraid or intimidated or might face retaliation or whatever excuse.  Men (except when molested by priests as children) cannot get away with this.  The choice of these women to attack when defense is no longer possible because time has rendered direct evidence of any kind impossible is the action of cowards.  Equality has many faces.
