(11,605 posts)I know several women who have been the victim of abuse by multiple men. Unfortunately it tends to snowball - once a woman is mistreated once she sometimes thinks she is worth less and thus is more likely to end up with other people who mistreat her.
That said, the fact that she complained about each of the other alleged abusers at or near the time it happened does somewhat undercut the oft-cited reasons for waiting three decades to come forward about Biden, such as that women were afraid to come forward before the MeToo movement. If she hasn't been shy in the past about complaining about harassment it seems less believable that it took her 27 years to get the courage to come forward about Biden, rather than picking this time to inflict maximal damage.
