(15,219 posts)...and were just making this same case in a hypothetical way, before the necessity of coming to Biden's defense, you'd unfortunately have been eaten alive here on DU for making exactly the same arguments.
It is, and always has been the case, that such accusations need to be examined for credibility, that people who are accused should not be treated as guilty until proven innocent. Many here on DU would take the act of stating that simple truth as something that a person wouldn't have the bad taste to bring up unless they had a hidden agenda to discredit all women, something they wouldn't say unless they were an "MRA".
I've heard it stated bluntly here on DU that the possibility of a woman, any woman, making a false accusation against a man is so vanishingly small that it's barely worthy of consideration, the unstated corollary being that if the occasional, supposedly rare event of a false accusation occurs, and a man's life is damaged or destroyed by it, it's a small price to pay. Only an "MRA" type would worry about that problem, because it's the much, much smaller problem.
