    How would you define a whore? Do they exist in your world?

    He has never admitted to a parade of sexual assaults. Where are you getting that from?

    He admitted to having sex with various co-workers. Whether that constitutes an abuse of power / sexual harrasment, is a definite issue. But that is still different than a rape allegation, something he is denying.

    You don't have to give him the benefit of the doubt given his history.

    But rather than believing a rape allegation, why wouldn't you leave it at, "I don't know "? Because you really can't know when you are dealing with a "she said, he said," and no other evidence available proving that one is telling the truth and the other isn't.

    I know you think you have a point here, but it's a really ugly and pathetic one.

    You think someone who is pressured into a sexual interaction because her career is threatened is a whore, because they're having sex for money. You seem to think it's a clever point. It's not.

    Ok, buddy. Be condescending and ascribe thought patterns and conclusions to others. You do you...

    No doubt you assume every whore has been pressured into it. They are victims. Always

    Sorry. He admitted to sex with several co-workers who say it was an abuse of power and not a consensual relationship. Call it whatever you wish.

    Because those are the three hardest words for most people to say.

    Even Jeff Spicoli was roasted for using those words.

    But @PCLoadLetter does know. A white man in a position of power has been accused of rape. Guilty, next.

    It is disappointing, but not surprising, that somebody had to explain this.

    And you will defend the white man endlessly despite his history of being a giant piece of shit, because you will believe a man with a history of sexual misconduct before you will entertain the possibility that one of his many accusers might be telling the truth. And you will call the accuser a whore.

    Yeah, act like you're on the high road.

    Ask the class who’d they want sitting on their jury, me or you.

    Now ask them who they would want on the jury if they had been assaulted or if it was their wife or daughter who had been raped.
